Happy Redfall launch day, of us! While the gaming neighborhood dives into Arkane Austin’s newest co-op shooter – in any case, it’s launching day one on Microsoft’s common Game Pass service for no further value – many followers are lastly sinking their fangs into the chaotic vampiric shoot ’em up. Amongst all the blood-sucking motion, gamers have discovered a neat little easter egg which is clearly a nod to the studio’s earlier sequence, Dishonored.
More particularly, some followers over on Reddit have found Whale Tanks from the award-winning stealth franchise hidden in the Lighthouse inside Redfall. For the unaware, Whale Tanks are the recognizable containers crammed with Dunwall magic which are scattered round the worlds of the Dishonored video games.
These wee vessels are used to energy doorways and electrified railway tracks in Arkane’s stealth ’em up, in addition to appearing as an improvised explosive in a pinch. Clearly, the California-based developer has snuck this cheeky reference in as a hidden joke for followers.
While critics are beginning to weigh in on Redfall, our very personal Managing Editor Chris Jecks reviewed the sport and was a little nonplussed by the general expertise, finally awarding it a 3/5, concluding:
Redfall appears like a sufferer of the nice, Game Pass machine. A sport with heaps of fashion and potential that finally falls brief in core areas like story, mission selection and technical efficiency. I can’t assist shake the feeling growth might have been rushed in order to fill a hole in the subscription service’s exclusives launch schedule. It’s enjoyable in components and its wider potential often manages to shine via, however it finally serves as one other reminder that Microsoft’s first-party choices nonetheless lag behind the finest the business has to supply.
Redfall is on the market to buy now for Xbox Series X|S and PC.
