Ready to learn all about the Redfall controls? Redfall is an open-world co-op first-person shooter game developed by Arkane Studios Austin, the team behind games such as Prey and Dishonored. It will continue Arkane's traditions of making each of their games different from the last, but will highlight world building and inventive game mechanics.

As an open-world game, players will be able to explore Redfall's massive environment, collect and customise gear, and upgrade their chosen survivor's abilities. The game can also be played either solo or by teaming up with other players.

Redfall controls guide

At the moment, information on the Redfall controls hasn't been released yet. We can only base our information on the game's controls on Arkane's previous titles like Prey and Dishonored. Moreover, we know that you'll be armed with customisable gear, specialized weaponry, and unique character abilities that range from scientific to mystical powers. You'll also have makeshift weapons like the flare gun and a UV projector.

Moreover, since Redfall has the option to take stealthier approaches in gameplay, it could mimic the stealth controls in Prey.
