Snark aside, Redfall sounds like one of those Arkane concepts that plays like a page-turning best-seller, taking up all your time until you finally finish it.

But it does feel like everyone is getting out of Nintendo’s way this month. There are plenty of other intriguing releases, releases out of early access, or previous-generation platform launches. It’s just, comparatively speaking, the only one remotely facing Zelda-sized expectations for its platform. Nintendo picked May 12 for The Legend of Zelda : Tears of the Kingdom all the way back in September, and Xbox took its chances back in January when it picked the 10 days in May before TotK dominates the gaming conversation.īut it’s not like Redfall is the only other game launching in May. Arkane Studios’ Redfall already delayed out of 2022, drew a tough pinch-hit assignment when Microsoft gave it a May 2 launch date to appease Xbox Game Pass fans wondering when they were gonna get some day-one first-party hits.
