Bethesda has made a promise to players claiming that its sci-fi RPG Starfield , currently in development, will be worth the long wait. That’s probably enough to inspire the fan community a little bit, especially considering that pretty much nothing specific has been revealed about the game so

Every tiny bit of information regarding Starfield is valuable due to the overall scarcity of details present. With that in mind, the latest few revelations by Howard will likely ramp up the anticipation to a whole new level for Bethesda faithful. Considering the involvement of procedural generation, the game’s world is likely to consist of several massive areas across it's in-game galaxy/universe, complete with unique planets, which sounds revolutionary for Bethesda’s games' traditionally singular, hand-crafted locations. On top of that, the absence of any multiplayer components will no doubt be a huge relief to those disappointed by online-oriented Fallout

While Starfield is still likely years from the release, players recently were treated to a few leaked screenshots allegedly taken from a 2018 build. Although rather spare, these images showed third-person gameplay of an player-controlled astronaut and a piece of concept art depicting a futuristic, hyper-detailed ship render with color. A neat part of the leak were the HUD icons in the gameplay screenshot, one of which showed the remaining amount of O2 in the player character’s oxygen tank, pointing to a major survival element that could make it into the final game. Interestingly, it may be this leak and the huge interest it generated that's obligated Bethesda to share some new official information about the ti

Bethesda's secretive space RPG Starfield is almost certainly going to miss 2021, as suggested by recent reporting about the state of the games industry. The COVID-19 pandemic is said to be affecting the industry so badly that the 2020 fiscal year was effectively " lost " in terms of development schedules, and publishers are learning to keep target release dates under wr

According to Bethesda Chief Software Engineer and spokesperson Todd Howard, Starfield is going to be the studio’s biggest game to date and focus solely on its single-player RPG experience. Little to nothing has been known about the game so far until the first supposed screenshots of the RPG title leaked last week, so this is the biggest news about the game to come directly from Bethesda since its cryptic E3 2018 de

Starfield was officially announced back in 2018 , during Bethesda’s show at E3. The game reveal came in the form of a short teaser with an image of some sort of a satellite. Starfield was described as the first Bethesda’s original IP in 25 years delving into epic space adventures. That’s basically all the information about the game, which isn’t expected to release any time soon. But while there’s seemingly no end to the wait, Bethesda is trying to assure players that Starfield is worth

Todd Howard has promised that Bethesda's upcoming titles Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6 will be running on technology that represents the company's biggest engine overhaul since the release of Oblivion back in 2006. This bold claim comes in the wake of Microsoft's massive buyout of ZeniMax Studios and all of its associated studios, including Bethesda. The buyout cost Microsoft $7.5 billion and results in the company owning the rights not only to Elder Scrolls and Starfield but to Doom , Fallout , and many other franchises as w

Virtually nothing is confirmed about Starfield except that it's Bethesda Game Studios ' first entirely original RPG IP in many years and that the company considers it and The Elder Scroll VI are its top priorities . A 2018 teaser seemingly implied a hard sci-fi tone, with more realistic spacecraft than those in games like The Outer Worlds or Mass Effect . In fact, designer Todd Howard says he visited SpaceX as part of his research, though he has also clarified that the game's spaceflight won't be as " punishing " as it is in the real wo

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 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 mods|https://Starfieldgalaxy.com/], [and] we are making TES

The announcements of Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6 generated a lot of excitement among fans, but the long silence has dampened things pretty considerably. Bethesda swears that Starfield will be worth the long wait , but before too long, it's going to have to give fans something. This engine overhaul is worth getting excited about, to be sure, but it still pales in comparison to any actual, solid news on either Starfield or The Elder Scrolls
