RedFall, scheduled for the summer of 2022, is an Xbox console exclusive that will appear on the Game Pass on day one. In addition to standard anti-vampire tools like stakes and genre-typical firearms, each character has abilities like a cloaking device, a robot buddy, and telekinesis. You and (presumably) up to three friends take the role of a squad of well-armed investigators who battle against the vampire cult that’s taken over the town of Redfall, Mass. Instead, RedFall - shown as a cinematic trailer, with no gameplay revealed - is an open-world shooter, with a Stranger Things-esque retro vibe, that can be played solo or cooperatively.

Microsoft Flight Simulator, Age of Empires IV, and Psychonauts 2 headline a stacked roster for Game Pass in the back half of 2021.
While many of the games shown were little more than evocative trailers - The Outer Worlds 2‘s trailer even said, point-blank, that all its developers have finished is its logo - most are already confirmed for day-one debuts on Game Pass, with one big new release scheduled every month until the end of the year. As we learned the other day from Microsoft’s pre-E3 presentation, the Xbox division found a lot of success with the Game Pass as what VP Sarah Bond called a “discovery engine,” and it’s leaning into that with its upcoming library. Infinite is planned to be available on the Xbox Game Pass on day one, as are many of the other Xbox-published titles that were announced at the Games Showcase. Someone managed to prevent not-Cortana from destroying herself, however, which means there’s more going on here than a simple humans-vs.-Covenant fight.

The Master Chief will once again be joined by the AI Cortana, voiced by Halo veteran Jen Taylor, but this time, it’s not the original.

It’s now confirmed for release on an unspecified date this winter, in “Holiday 2021,” and still looks like it’s got a back-to-basics focus in its story campaign. The anniversary does line up neatly with Halo Infinite‘s general structure, however. (Like other big anniversaries that fell on this year, such as The Legend of Zelda and Metroid, one wonders if there might have been more of a fuss made about Halo‘s 20th if last year’s pandemic lockdowns hadn’t screwed up everyone’s development schedules.) This was also an anniversary celebration of sorts, marking the 20 th birthday for both the original Xbox and the Halo franchise, but that was treated as more of a fun data point than an actual focus of the show. 11, 2022, and is said to be a game about “answering humanity’s greatest mystery” as you set out to explore the stars.
