Starfield could've turned out to be visually stunning, if only the latest leaked screenshot, claimed to be captured in Bethesda’s sci-fi RPG, hadn't been identified as a scene from an environmental game called Mýrdalssandur, Iceland . Despite that, Starfield is still rumored to be releasing this year, which implies there could be more leaks, both fake and Starfieldgalaxy.Com genuine, coming in the near fut
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
It’s unfortunate, but Bethesda really seems to be headed down a troubling path. While they’ve still got their name attached to the tremendous resurgence of both Doom and Wolfenstein , they’ve totally besmirched their two most iconic franchises. Nobody wants to play a broken, buggy, live-service version of Fallout 4 , and absolutely nobody wants to see Skyrim squeezed down to a mobile form factor and packed full of heinous microtransacti
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
Fans, though slightly disappointed by Bethesda’s presentation as a whole, don’t seem to be quite as upset about the lack of TES 6 , instead showing more concern for Starfield . While we have yet to see any concrete gameplay, we all have a general idea of what the new Elder Scrolls title will be about. That isn’t the case for Starfield ; aside from a very vague space-faring sci-fi concept, we know virtually nothing about this g
The most likely reason for this is because, like The Elder Scrolls VI , Starfield is still a long, long way from being ready for release. Most fans knew that there was zero chance that the game would see the light of day in 2019, and most are estimating that Q4 of 2020 will be the absolute earliest we could see this game release. However, it could go beyond that, and it’s not unthinkable to assume that Bethesda will wait until the next console generation begins to officially debut their new
The company has developed a new engine tool that allows the development team to create a larger landmass for their world. It’s unclear if Howard was referring to a landmass continent, or perhaps multiple planets given the sci-fi genre of the game, but the size of the overall map will be large in any c
So, what exactly did they do to grab the attention of attendees and stream followers alike? Well, aside from an adorable Japanese game dev and an overly zealous yelling man in the audience who may or may not have been Eric Andre, not a whole lot. Proceedings initiated with Todd Howard pretending to tuck his tail between his legs and apologize/poke fun at the notoriously awful launch of Fallout 76 . Bethesda then incited many an incredulous eyebrow raise as it was announced that their divisive entry into the Fallout franchise would, at long last, be receiving human NPCs—a long-awaited community request which was subtly joked about in the update’s trailer—alongside a new battle royale mode for which none of the game’s twelve remaining players as
If that is indeed the case, it may herald a gradual overhaul of how players purchase and play games. It could lead to a phase out of physical and digital one-time purchase copies in favor of monthly subscription streaming services. Bethesda's status as a prolific studio with a considerable degree of clout may make it the standard bearer for such a revolution, or at the very least, the forerunner in Microsoft's ongoing studio acquisition campa
Most crucially, however, we saw absolutely nothing of Bethesda’s most anticipated, nebulous properties, those being Starfield and yet-to-be-subtitled Elder Scrolls VI . Aside from extremely brief glimpses of these titles shown at E3 (glimpses which, in both cases, showcased quite literally nothing aside from the titles of the games), we have yet to see anything substantial to prove that these games are even progressing in their developm
