Bethesda Reveals Redfall's Official PC Hardware Requirements, NVIDIA Releases Exclusive Launch Trailer

[T0@st]

With the launch of Redfall set for early next week, Bethesda has kindly provided some prepwork to consider in advance - a breakdown of the crossover shooter's PC specification requirements (minimum, recommended and ultra) as well as all available accessibility settings and options. They fail to mention any resolution or framerate targets, so it will be up to PC gamers to investigate the nitty-gritty numbers on the day of Redfall's release (May 2). As part of the whole promo campaign NVIDIA has decided to unleash a gameplay trailer (see below) of the game running on a high end PC fitted with a (presumed) high-end GeForce RTX 40-series graphics card.

Redfall's PC audience will get to flex their graphical muscles more so when compared to unfortunate current gen Xbox owners - Bethesda and developer Arkane Studios have recently admitted that their supernatural shooter will be restricted to 30 FPS Quality Mode on Series X and S consoles at launch. A higher framerate performance mode is promised in the future - via a game update - but the Microsoft-owned publisher has not set a more specific release window for the upgrade. The middle and high-tier specifications on PC seem to be quite reasonable, so Redfall is not expected to be a stuttering mess on arrival.



Bethesda's suggested PC specs are:

MINIMUM SPEC
CPU: Intel Core i5-8400 @ 2.80 GHz or AMD Ryzen 5 1600
GPU: AMD RX 580 / NVIDIA GTX 1070 / 6 GB VRAM
System RAM: 16 GB
OS: Windows 10 64-bit
Storage: 100 GB SSD

RECOMMENDED SPEC
CPU: Intel Core i7-9700K @ 3.60 GHz or AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
GPU: AMD 5700 / NVIDIA RTX 2080 / (any) Intel ARC / 8 GB VRAM
System RAM: 16 GB
OS: Windows 10 64-bit
Storage: 100 GB SSD

ULTRA SPEC
CPU: Intel Core i7-9700K @ 3.60 GHz or AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
GPU: AMD RX 6800 XT / NVIDIA RTX 3080 / 10 GB VRAM
System RAM: 32 GB
OS: Windows 11 64-bit
Storage: 100 GB SSD



Redfall is an open-world, co-op FPS from Arkane Austin, the award-winning team behind Prey and Dishonored. Slay alone or squad up with up to 4 player co-op and face off against the vampires holding the island hostage. Redfall brings the studio's signature gameplay to this story-driven action shooter. In signature Arkane style, you will choose your path across the island and through the vampire masses as you discover what caused this plague of bloodsuckers. Explore a beautifully hand-crafted open world packed with detail and shine a light on the island's darkest corners as you fight to uncover the vampires' secrets. Choose from a roster of heroes with unique, upgradeable skills and gear them up with customizable weaponry found all over the island.

Redfall arrives on PC on May 2, 2023. Pre-order now - visit Redfall.com to check it out.

So how does "signature Arkane style" (ie, single player, story driven, non open-world) translate to an open world co-op shooter in practise? Official Trailers are damn useless at conveying how games actually play like...

cant tell ya but this game looks like absolute ass in every single way

 

[Denver]

The requirements still look bad if you take the graphics into account...

 

[Arkz]

Looks like a PS4 launch title.

Recommended Specs look high to me. I assume that's for 1080p but they don't say and at what settings? Need more info Bethesda.

Edit: Also what the heck does that mean under Recommended Specs "any Intel ARC"?

LMFAO, as MS stuff is never a mess on release, sure.

Already spoiled a good song.

30 FPS Shooter on Series X, Bethesda sucks so hard.

It was a good thing to do not buy anything if bethesda is publisher since 10 years.
(Arkane isnt that bad, Bethesda sucks as hell)

 

[Sithaer]

Eh, I will check the game out since it was partially marketed as a looter shooter which is one of my fav genre but I hope its not too focused on the co-op thing cause I only play these games solo.
That and cause it will cost me nothing, it will be on gamepass on day 1 and I happened to have that atm as a gift.

Ultra Specs:
OS: Windows 11 64-bit

Why the OS upgrade specifically for Ultra settings?

Dunno what y'all are on about; it looks fine. Nothing mind blowing, but not every release needs to be the next step on the road to photorealism.

Considering the particle effects, I reckon the requirements are pretty reasonable for the graphics

 

[Udyr]

Why the OS upgrade specifically for Ultra settings?

Because how else will MS convince naive "max everything" gamers to get Windows 11?

 

[64K]

We will see when the game gets benched but I am suspicious of these System Requirements listed.

 

[Arkz]

That's not the issue at all. Average looking graphics are ok if that's what they're going for, but not when they recommend a 2080. And 3080 for ultra.

 

[Skylinestar]

Looks like Vampyr with FPS element.

 

[Bomby569]

Prey and Dishonoured were so good. They killed Arkane.

 

[Chomiq]

Looks like Vampyr with FPS element.

More like Left 4 Dead with vampires.
