The premise, in the publisher's words
The quaint island town of Redfall, Massachusetts, is under siege by a legion of vampires who have blocked out the sun and cut the island off from the outside world. Trapped with a handful of survivors against diabolical enemies threatening to bleed the town dry, choose your hero from a diverse roster, grouping up with others to create the perfect team of vampire slayers. Redfall’s vampires aren’t your typical bloodsuckers. They were created after a scientific experiment went horribly wrong and are continuing to evolve. After their transformation, some vampires develop powerful abilities and grow into bigger and badder vampires. But they’re not the only thing standing in your way – players…

The main story runs about 18.5 hrs.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i5-8400 @ 2.80GHz or AMD Ryzen 5 1600, 16 GB RAM and AMD RX 580 / NV GTX 1070 / 6 GB VRAM. A 16GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. It also needs around 100GB of free storage, which is a real consideration on a 512GB drive. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
Redfall launched on 2 May 2023, within three weeks of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Dead Island 2, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Planet of Lana. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 3 years into the Xbox Series's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Dead Island 2, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Planet of Lana.
