Many years have passed since the PC version Assassin’s Creed 2 by Ubisoft caused significant hype about the requirement to protect the game from piracy for a permanent connection to the Internet, despite being a single player game. Since then, much has changed in the gaming industry, and many gamers have begun to put up with what was previously considered unacceptable. However, the need for a constant internet connection to play alone is still one of the things that is not enthused in certain circles.. And if you don’t like that sort of thing, you should probably beware of the vampire shooter. Redfall from Bethesda and Arkane Studios.

As we already know, Redfall will be playable not only in online co-op for up to four players, but also alone, with the single-player mode reminiscent of previous Arkane projects, including the series DISCOURAGED, Dark messiah of sword and magic or Prey 2017. However, in the official Q&A roundup now available on the game’s website, Bethesda states that Redfall requires a constant internet connection not only for co-op play, but also for single player play..
We do not know the reason for this request, but so far everything indicates that it is related not so much to the fight against pirates, but to the decision to save game progress. This is indicated not only by the fact that requires a persistent internet connection on both PC and Xbox Series X|Sbut also Bethesda.net account required. You won’t be able to play Redfall without it either, reminding us, among other things, that while it’s owned by Microsoft now, Bethesda still operates as a publisher, and for now, it functions more or less the same way it did before. It’s just that now they are forbidden to release new games on consoles from Sony and Nintendo.
Hence is the question is exactly how saving positions and progress will work in Redfall and to what extent it will be tied to Bethesda.net servers. You can sign into a Bethesda account on almost every game the company has released in recent years, including the recently released single-player Hi-Fi gem RUSH. In most cases, however, this is a completely voluntary activity, while a Bethesda.net account is really only required to access online features or online games.like Fallout 76. We’ll probably only know the details when it comes out.
But it is already known that we can’t talk about the possibility of a traditional offline mode in connection with Redfall. So if you’ve been waiting for a moment of uncertainty and dread of a repeat of Arkane Wolfenstein: Youngblood’s co-op play, this moment has probably arrived. The problems of the failed Wolfenstein spin-off, primarily developed by Swedish studio MachineGames, went much further than the need for an internet connection and a Bethesda account, but it looks like the unsettling similarities may not go very far.
That’s why let’s hope Bethesda takes good care of server stability. If we can’t go solo due to possible technical problems with co-op, Redfall Island will surely become a hell not only for its inhabitants and victims of the vampire invasion, but also for us, the players.
