The spacesuit of the playable character has a couple of visual logos in high fidelity, offering the briefest of glimpses into the game's world. Those brief glimpses are all players may get for a long while, with holiday 2021 being the earliest rumored release date for the game. This date could be even later with the recent Microsoft buyout of Bethesda , as an infusion of new cash and a new direction could allow Bethesda more leeway to create the best game possible, even if it takes more time. On the flip side, Microsoft could want Starfield out as soon as possible to shore up the Xbox Series X's first-party lineup, which its massive pools of resources could make trivial if used effectiv
In the years that followed Starfield 's announcement, the company has not greatly expanded fan’s knowledge of what to expect for the title. After the news hit last month that Bethesda had been tapped to work on the new Indiana Jones game, many worried that games like Starfield would be pushed back . Bethesda’s Pete Hines was quick to assure players after the announcement that the publisher and developer was still focused on its other new IP. This sentiment has recently been backed by one industry insider who claims to have reason to believe Starfield could be coming out during the latter half of this ye
Hines continued by also talking about how even though Starfield and The Elder Scrolls VI have been officially announced, that doesn't mean they're even close to being ready. "I try really hard to manage people's expectations. It's not like ' Fallout 76 this year, Starfield Missions|Https://Starfieldgalaxy.Com/ next year, and then TES6 the year after.' The timeline isn't any different. What's different is just trying to be transparent and say, 'Don't freak out, the next thing we're doing is single-player [in Starfield], [and] we are making TES
There's no sign the quoted sources are involved with Starfield , or even Bethesda, but Khan's evaluation of the pandemic on its own is likely enough to some to quash a recent rumor that Starfield could ship this year. That was itself a misinterpretation by Venture Beat , which claimed it was " probably 90% " sure the game would show at E3 2021 . A statement about it possibly shipping in November was later corrected as speculat
Speculation aside, players will likely see Bethesda present a huge gameplay portion before going into launch details on Starfield . 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
Information about the game is still scant regarding setting, gameplay, and story. However, according to creative director Todd Howard in a recent interview at the Develop: Brighten Conference , fans should be excited for what’s coming from a technical standpo
Even though Bethesda Game Studios now has four offices scattered around the world, with a new location recently announced to be in Dallas , Hines also made clear that just because the development team has more staff than ever before doesn't mean development will go by that much more quickly. In fact, when talking about The Elder Scrolls VI specifically, Hines said that it likely won't be out until the next console generation has arrived. "I don't even know what the world is going to be like when it comes out; there will be a different console generation by then, I'm sure," Hines sta
The damages of the COVID-19 pandemic could affect the industry for years, an anonymous publisher told Fanbyte 's Imran Khan , who retweeted his reporting on April 8 in relation to Bethesda's Deathloop being delayed to September 14. " The truth is, players aren’t going to get every video game we - we, as in every developer - want to put out this year ," the designer of an unspecified game was quoted as saying. " That sucks, but it’s the truth. We don’t want to put out a mess, we want to put out the best games we can, and we’re moving at three-quarters speed on average days and way less on bad days. " Twitter news sleuth IdleSloth84 claims that this is may be in reference to Starfield , but no official confirmation of a "delay" for the game with no confirmed release date has been provided at publication t
