Comparisons are hateful, but it seems that a single Redfall location is bigger than all of Prey. Arkane is known for his intricate and highly immersive RPGs like Arx Fatalis, Dishonored, and Prey. Although Redfall looks a bit different from the studio’s previous titles, it will apparently achieve a similar sense of scale and world-building. Released in 2017, Arkane Studios’ Prey is a love letter to immersive sci-fi RPGs like System Shock and BioShock.
While Redfall may seem shallow by comparison, Arkane Studios’ next game promises to carry on the developer’s legacy of world building and player expression. Redfall allows for stealth and shooter approaches to vampire hunting, for example, and one of Redfall’s areas is larger than all of Prey. Secondly, Arkane Austin showed us in a video how Redfall was created: his most ambitious title to date.
Redfall is bigger than all Prey
Reportedly, a single farm area in Redfall is larger than all of Prey. During a recent interview at QuakeCon 2022, Arkane Austin studio head Harvey Smith revealed that the Talos I was placed in one of the districts of the vampire shooter to have fun with the developers. The station was apparently dwarfed by a farm that makes up one of Redfall’s two separate districts, illustrating the truly massive scale of the undead-infested Massachusetts town.

With the rest of the farm district, plus an entire second district, Morgan Yu would be amazed at the size of the game’s map. Although originally scheduled for release in 2022, the Redfall delay to 2023 has given Arkane Studios more time to polish the bloodsucking hunting experience. That Redfall is bigger than all Prey could be a good reason for this delay.
