The stars have not aligned
The news arrived via atweetthis afternoon, with Bethesda stating, “The teams at Arkane Austin (Redfall) and Bethesda Games Studios (Starfield) have incredible ambitions for their games, and we want to ensure that you receive the best, most polished versions of them” when they release.
“We want to thank everyone for their excitement for Redfall and Starfield. That energy is a huge part of what inspires all of us every day and drives our own excitement for what we are creating.”

Redfall’s delay doesn’t come as a total surprise, given we’ve seen next to nothing of the gamesince its big revealat last year’s Microsoft E3 conference. Starfield, though, has been getting regular development updates in the form ofmusic deep dives,companion walkthroughsand more over the last couple of months - all of which I’d assumed would be leading up to a big grand gameplay reveal at this year’sXbox and Bethesda Games Showcase on June 12th.
We may still get that big gameplay reveal in June, I should note, as Bethesda closed their announcement tweet about the game’s delay saying that they’ll be sharing “our first deep dive into the gameplay for both Redfall and Starfield soon”.
Still, both delays are major blows to the rest of this year’s gaming calendar, as Starfield was one of the few games coming out this year with an actual release date. I was certain Bethesda would stick to their classic date gimmick of 11/11/22, but alas it is not to be. Release date woes aside, here’severything else we currently know about Starfieldif you’re in need of a refresher.
The person I really feel for in all this, though, isSkyrimGrandma Shirley Curry, because goodness knows what this is going to do toThe Elder Scrolls 6 release date.
