Det lader til at modtagelsen af Arkanes Redfall-demonstration har været en kende blandet, og det lader desuden til at co-op er bygget ind i spillets DNA. Men studiet selv, der dog anses for at være blandt de bedste i branchen, insisterer på at spillet kan nydes helt alene.
I et interview med IGN fortæller instruktør Harvey Smith, at hvis du spiller alene, så vil du finde en "klassisk Arkane-oplevelse", tilsyneladende på linje med Dishonored, Prey og Deathloop.
"Redfall is made so you can play through the campaign solo and you don't have bots with you for the other characters, you're just purely solo. You pick Layla, Jacob, Devinder, or Remi, and you're alone as you go through the world.
It's not a super hardcore stealth game but stealth is a factor. The AI is based on awareness with sight and sound, so you can use stealth to get an advantage on people or to bypass a conflict or whatever to avoid fighting if you're wounded or weak. The single player just goes through the campaign and there's no special mode for multiplayer or any of that. You can play with other people, one other person, two other people, three other people, for a total of four, but solo is very much a classic Arkane experience."
