Redfall: Has Arkane’s largest game world yet, Talos One pales in comparison

The game world of Arkane’s Redfall is going to be quite large, in any case it is by far the largest of the studio.

Despite this, Karen Segars, Art Director at Arkane, describes the new environment as “quaint and small”. It all depends on the context.

What does the game world of Redfall offer?

Talos One, the setting from Prey (2017), is used as a comparison. Talos One pales in comparison to a farm compound that players visit in one of Redfall’s early missions, says Studio Director Harvey Smith.

Great importance is attached to environmental storytelling, so that the world also serves a purpose.

“We start with something really crazy and fantastic, like Dunwall or [einer] Space Station, and then we work on allowing players to understand that place and learn about the environment,” says Creative Director Ricardo Bare of Arkane’s world-building process. “But this time, we purposely started with something familiar… but then came this twist.”

There is also a skill tree in Redfall, allowing each character to specialize in specific roles.

Redfall is scheduled for release in the first half of 2023 for PC and Xbox Series X/S.
