One of the most highly anticipated Xbox-exclusive titles projected to come out this year is inching closer to its rumored release date. But given the price tag that a recent report claims is scheduled for the European market, Bethesda might be putting its consumers to the test.
According to a report from reliable leaker BillbilKun, who originates from the French scene, Arkane Studios' upcoming open-world shooter will set new standards for pricing triple-A games heading into the new year. With the Standard edition of Redfall starting at €79.99, it might just become a precedent in the gaming industry. This is especially true considering that most of the currencies this game will be sold in except for the pound, have lower exchange rates. That means that Redfall will start at around $87 in the US market and at an astonishing 125 Australian dollars.
And that's just to get your hands on the base game which is scheduled for a release in the first half of 2023 for Microsoft Windows and Xbox Series X|S. The upgrade to the Deluxe Edition will set you back an additional €29.99, which puts the price tag at three digits in any currency. Gaining access to additional features like game passes, DLCs, artbooks and collectibles is always an option for the dedicated player base, but at this price point and for a newly released game, it might backfire and push customers back.
