Description:
Bethesda's major sci-fi RPG, won't be coming out in November because the team needs to polish it.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Bethesda has announced its delayed its space-based RPG Starfield until 2023. In the same announcement, it also revealed that Redfall, the new co-op
shooter from Arkane Studios will also not be released in 2022 as originally planned.

Weve made the decision to delay the launches of Redfall and Starfield to the first half of 2023, Bethesda writes . The teams at Arkane Austin and Bethesda Game Studios have incredible ambitions for their games, and we want to ensure that you receive the best, most polished versions of them.

While Redfall has only been out in the open since its reveal at last years
E3, its been a very long journey for Starfield. The RPG, described by
Bethesda Softworks director Todd Howard as Skyrim in space, has been rattling around in the minds of the studios designers for more than 25 years.

Its been a long wait for fans, too, who first spotted the titles trademark back in 2013. Even then, it was another five years before Bethesda released a teaser trailer for the game, and another three before the studio actually revealed it at E3 2021.

The trailer, the first real tease of Starfield at all, included a release date. November 11, 2022. A bold play, but, as Todd Howard told the Washington Post at the time "We're confident in the date. Otherwise, we wouldnt be announcing it.

Still, with no in-game footage since that announcement, only a set of concept art trailers, its not too surprising to hear Bethesdas delayed its Skyrim in Space.

Though, while both Redfall and Starfield wont now be released until 2023, there is still a good chance both games will be making an appearance at the Xbox & Bethesda Showcase on June 12, so hopefully, well at least get a look
at how they play. After all, Skyrim in space is a great way of suggesting the scope and scale of a game, but it doesnt do any favors when it comes to judging if it will be a modern RPG.

The real question, though, is what games will we have to look forward to in 2022, with everything getting delayed? While we let the wait sink in, we can just look at this Starfield concept art and cry.
