Redfall fans praise Arkane over authentic POC character design
There's a lot of love for Layla out there

Redfall's Layla has got pl🍬enty of people talking after the game's reveal yes🎶terday, and it's some very positive conversation.
Firstly, check out the Redfall reveal trailer for yourself just below, which was trotted out by 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox at their E3 2021 presentation last night as th🦩e bombshell reveal to end the showcase. The new game by Prey developer Arkane Austin revolves around humans battling against hordes of vampires, in what's going to play out as a multiplayer shooter.
But it's Layla who's commandeered the attention of hundreds of fans online in the aftermath of the reveal event. As you can see fro꧋m one example just below, particular praise is being directed toward's L🐼ayla's hair, which looks absolutely fantastic and lifelike, something that video game fans of color have often felt let down by in the past.

Realistic afros are hard to come by in games, which is why Spider-Man: Miles Morales was praised🥃 last year fo💜r its brilliant attention to detail with Miles's hair (for more on that, head over to 's interview with developer Insomniac). There's even some low-budget cosplay already being put together from audience members excited to play as Layla for the first time.

It's absolutely fantastic to see this outpouring of love from a side of the gam🅰ing audience that, more often than not, isn't typically used to seeing themselves represented in authentic ways in video games. We can't wait to find out more about Layla and the overall game at large as we inch ever-closer to Redfall's final release next year in 2022.

Speaking of, the specific release window given for Redfall yesterday at E3 2021 was "Summer 2022," and as you might expect after 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft's acquisition of Arkane parent company Bethesda, it's going to be launching as a console exclusive for the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Series X and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Series S. It's going to be quite the wait for Arkane Austin's next game after Dishonored: Death of the Outsider launched in 2017, but in the meantime, we've got 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Deathloop to look forward to later this year, which is releasing as a PS5 console exclusive on September 15, 2021.
