A week ago, an industry insider shared their knowledge regarding Bethesda’s plans to launch Starfield at the end of 2021 . According to a short post on ResetEra forums, the company was allegedly aiming at a 2021 release date as of a few months ago. These plans could’ve been impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which has negatively affected many titles that are being currently developed. The insider also added that the alleged 2021 release was being discussed at the end of 2020, which basically means that a lot could’ve changed since t
A pair of screenshots purportedly from Bethesda's long-in-development Starfield has surfaced online. It is the next game from Bethesda Game Studios, the internal studio behind such games as Fallout 3 and 4 and every entry in The Elder Scrolls series. Announced with little more than a logo during their E3 2018 showcase, Starfield is purported to be Skyrim in space, taking Bethesda's open-world formula to the sci-fi realm in ways not satisfied by their entries in the Fallout ser
With Doom Eternal showing off some impressive gameplay at QuakeCon, fans already know that it will be Hell on Earth in the sequel. Elsewhere, there should be an update on The Elder Scrolls VI after it made an appearance at last year's E3 showcase . There might be a fresh look at Wolfenstein: Youngblood , and finally, there should be new on the summer update for the struggling and mega controversial Fallout 76 , that's been nothing short of a disappointment for the brand, the community, and the develo
I believe Bethesda should revert back to this previous style and keep up with their trend of silent protagonists, as we saw in games like Fallout 3, Oblivion, and Skyrim . In my opinion, this more often allows the player to inject him or herself into each situation. It seems like Bethesda gave the protagonist in Fallout 4 a voice so that they could give the main storyline a little more "oomph," but I feel that this worked against the overall game more than it worked for it: that's especially considering that I don't think the story in Fallout 4 is all that memora
There's no doubt in my mind that Bethesda Game Studios will deliver good, if not incredible games with Starfield and The Elder Scrolls VI , whenever they actually end up releasing . If they want to keep their status in a genre that's always looking to raise the bar though, they need to create a world that gives a role-playing experience unlike anything we've seen before. They've definitely got plenty of time to flesh out tons of old and new ideas...so no pressure ri
Considering last year's E3 showcase was so big for Bethesda, it will be interesting to see how/if the publisher can top it this year with newness, while addressing recent failings. As the tweet jokes, keep refreshing Walmart Canada to look for leaks — a subtle jibe at RAGE 2's release being spoiled ahead of time . Either way, Bethesda's all-star showcase could fill that large gap left by Sony skipping E3 20
Speculation aside, players will likely see Bethesda present a huge gameplay portion before going into launch details on Starfield Gameplay|Https://Starfieldgalaxy.Com/ . Even if these leaked images are legitimate, they really only confirm the most base rumors about the game, serving the generate more hype for something that is almost completely unknown. That's the problem with showing logos at press conferences, they build undue hype for games before the real work is done. There's a huge risk in releasing a let down in the eyes of the public if a game with such buildup isn't the next big thing. For Starfield , the cat is out of the bag, and one can only imagine the pressure on the team to craft a whole new world that also serves as the next Skyr
Starfield likely offers more complexity in RPG elements, narrative branching, and sheer size. But if we're talking emergent exploration, world interaction, and player-driven discovery, Breath of the Wild checks all of that with zero effort, unlike Bethesda's modern RPG. There is a consistent sense of discovery here that I'll even go as far as to say that Elden Ring doesn't hit with its vast array of cont
Several images first posted to the infamous 4Chan message boards have been shared across social media (thanks, Okami13_ ), purported to be screenshots from a 2018 build of Starfield . The first image shows a third-person perspective on an futuristic-looking astronaut wielding a shotgun according to the game's HUD, although the weapon is not seen on the player model. In addition to a health and stamina meter, there also appears to be a meter for oxygen, which would be a key component in any game that wants to realistically depict space exploration. The second image appears to be concept art of one of the game's spaceships, and it certainly matches the space station briefly seen in the game's official teaser trailer back in 2
Another industry insider, Skullzi , who is known for gaming investigations and reports, has shared a leaked screenshot allegedly taken from an in-development build of Starfield . Although the screenshot had poor quality, it nonetheless represented a huge leap forward in terms of improved visuals compared to other Bethesda’s RPGs. Realistic lighting, reflections, shadows, and detailed environments implied that Starfield could be a true next-gen title. In the bottom-left corner, the picture included the same piece of HUD that was present on previously leaked Starfield screenshots, which added a bit of credibility. But as the story was rapidly developing, Skullzi had to take down the post on Twitter since some users claimed the leak was fake. They pointed out a visible similarity between the alleged screenshot and environmental walking simulator Mýrdalssandur, Iceland . Skullzi's source (presumably from Bethesda) later confirmed that the leak was 100% f
