Redfallis one of many upcoming Xbox games to go a long time without releasing much information. Although Arkane Studios' vampire hunting game is still slated for a summer 2022 release, it still hasn’t provided fans with any gameplay, aside from a few leaked screenshots. Luckily, the wait forRedfallinformation could be over soon, and the same may be true for several other Xbox titles. A new showcase starring various Xbox and Bethesda titles will air in mid-June, setting up the second half of 2022 and beyond for all kinds of Xbox content. Considering the timing,Redfallwill almost certainly be there.
Lots of games might drop interesting trailers and teasers at the Xbox and Bethesda game showcase, butRedfallin particular seems like it could have an explosive impact on the show. Between the sheer amount ofRedfallcontent that Arkane has left to reveal, the need to gather new fans ahead of release, and the importance of locking downRedfall’s release date, the game can stand to gain a lot from this presentation. Even though the likes ofStarfieldare bound to define the upcoming presentation,Redfallseems like it could be a surprise hit even among tons of other big games.

Redfall’s Showcase Reveal Opportunities
Obvious aRedfalltrailer during the Xbox and Bethesda showcase needs to include some properRedfallgameplay. Arkane has promised fans intense vampire hunting action powered by unique weapons and colorful characters, but fans have yet to get an official look at whatRedfallgameplay actually looks like. In a time whenLeft 4 Deadinspired shootersare all the rage, fans are eager to know howRedfallmakes itself special and what innovations they can look forward to. A lengthyRedfallpresentation that’s packed with explanations about everything from equipment systems to vampire types would be perfect.
The showcase is also the perfect opportunity to reveal a release date forRedfall.If Arkane presents its next game during the upcoming showcase, there’ll almost certainly be information about the release timing, since it’s meant to launch this summer. A recent rumor suggested thatRedfallmight get delayed out of summer 2022, but so far, Arkane and Bethesda have stood their ground. It would make sense if a trailer during the showcase confirmed a delayed date forRedfall’s release, but it’s also entirely possible thatRedfallwill commit to its longtime summer window during the showcase. Summer would be a great season forRedfallto release, so hopefully it manages to meet that deadline.

The Impending Release of Redfall
Beyond content reveal possibilities,Redfallseems like it’ll probably have a big impact on the Xbox and Bethesda showcase because it’s seemingly so close to release. Microsoft has lots of other possible big hits in the works,such asFableandAvowed,but many of these games don’t seem like they’ll release this year. Games likeFablecould get gameplay reveals, but becauseRedfallseemingly plans to release within a few months, it has cause to get priority during the showcase. More time could be committed toRedfallthan other games in order to ensure that all of its details get covered; in other words, Microsoft wants potential fans to see lots of selling points.
All in all,Redfallhas a good chance of being a showstopper at the upcoming event. It’ll definitely have a lot of competition there, of course;Starfieldwill likely take up lots of time, and current games likeHalo Infinitemight try to steal the show from Arkane’s game. Nevertheless,Redfallhas all the right components to be a foundational game at the upcoming showcase. A majorRedfallpresentation is exactly what fans want after going so long without updates, and this is the perfect opportunity for such a presentation. Hopefully Arkane has big plans in store.
Redfallreleases in summer 2022 for PC and Xbox Series X/S.
