Redfall Confirmed To Be Online Only Game Despite Single-Player Support
Arkane Studios Austin’s Redfall has been confirmed to be an online only game, despite also featuring a single-player mode.
Bethesda has shared an FAQ for the forthcoming Redfall, in which it has confirmed that the game will only be playable online, despite it offering a single-player mode. This will surely come as a disappointment for those who support game preservation.
According to the FAQ, a persistent online connection is required for both single player and co-op modes in Redfall. A Bethesda.net account will be required in order to play the game. On Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, players will be required to have an Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription in order to play in co-op. The Standard Edition of Redfall will be available day one on Xbox Game Pass.
The FAQ also goes in to detail regarding what’s included in the Bite Back Edition of Redfall. This special edition includes the base game, Redfall Hero Pass, Throwback Outfit Pack, Laser Beam Multi-Weapon Skin and Tactical Knife Stake Weapon Attachment. Those who pre-order the game or play via Game Pass will receive the Vampire Hunter Pack. It includes a Level 2 Unrivaled Grim Tide Shotgun, which grants 20% increased damage with this weapon for eight seconds after killing an enemy. The pack also includes the Polar Vortex multi-weapon skin and Blood Ravager stake weapon attachment.
Redfall is an upcoming first-person shooter developed by Arkane Studios Austin and published by Bethesda Softworks.
