Bethesda has confirmed that it is fully focused on the development of both Starfield and The Elder Scrolls VI . Replying to fan concerns on Twitter about the fact that Todd Howard is involved with too many projects, Bethesda Senior VP of Marketing Pete Hines reassured them that those two titles are still his main priority. Howard, who has helped to lead both the Fallout and The Elder Scrolls series for more than a decade, also has roles in several other projects according to Hines. But both he and Bethesda as a whole are committed to finishing up work on the two high-profile games. The communications executive promised that recent announcements will not affect the development of either g
The inclusion of #BE3 twinkling in stars is the biggest nod that there'll be more information on the highly anticipated Starfield . As it stands, Https://Starfieldgalaxy.Com little is known about the ambitious single-player game set in the depths of space , other than the fact Starfield has been in the works since 2008 . With Starfield already said to be about next-gen hardware and next-gen gaming , it's no surprise that there'll be a bit of a wait before it finally hits consoles even if this year's E3 turns out to be the home of Xbox's next-gen hardware announceme
Yet, some are speculating that Starfield ’s development could be further slowed by Bethesda’s refusal to move on from the dated Creation Engine. The system, which was used to develop The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim in 2011 and was based on the incredibly old Gamebryo engine, is really beginning to show its age, and it could very well be that even a heavily modified Creation Engine will struggle to support such an ambitious project. We know that Fallout 76 could hardly handle the demands of online play, let alone Todd Howard’s infamous "sixteen times the detail" lark, and it’s hard to imagine that something fantastically larger in scope and scale could possibly keep up on an outdated framew
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 2020, the game has been heavily featured in Microsoft's promotion of its purchase of Bethesda, placing the game alongside not only its fellow internal RPGs but huge shooter franchises like Doom and Wolfenstein . Despite the announcement and promotion, there's no indication as to when Starfield will release, and Bethesda representatives have said in interviews that fans will still need to be very patient while waiting for the far-off game . Work on the new IP, which is the first in over a decade for the studio, has been going on a decade itself, with a trademark filing in 2013 giving the first public indication of the new property. Following that, the rumor mill has been relatively quiet - until today, that
We were also treated to the announcement of new IPs from Tango Softworks, the developers behind The Evil Within and its sequel, as well as Arkane Studios, the people behind the acclaimed Dishonored games. We also saw Commander Keen ’s once-cherished name raked through the mud with the announcement of a totally controversial mobile-only title with a Saturday morning cartoon vibe. We’re not quite sure who that’s supposed to be targeting, as it’s sure to bore those unfamiliar with the property and offend those who grew up with
A week ago, an industry insider shared their knowledge regarding Bethesda’s plans to launch Starfield at the end of 2021 . According to a short post on ResetEra forums, the company was allegedly aiming at a 2021 release date as of a few months ago. These plans could’ve been impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which has negatively affected many titles that are being currently developed. The insider also added that the alleged 2021 release was being discussed at the end of 2020, which basically means that a lot could’ve changed since t
With Bethesda seemingly involved in a growing number of major projects, including a Fallout television show, fans can't be blamed for growing worried about progress on Starfield and The Elder Scrolls VI , especially when the company has been so quiet about the two far-off titles. Hopefully, this confirmation from the studio will reassure players that Bethesda has not lost sight of what they value m
Bethesda is still prioritizing work on both Starfield and The Elder Scrolls VI , with director Todd Howard focusing on the two titles' development over other projects. Fans had begun to grow concerned about the company being stretched too thin following the recent announcement that the publisher was also creating a brand-new Indiana Jones game in partnership with Lucasfilm Games, with Todd Howard in an executive producer role. Developer MachineGames, best known for working on Wolfenstein : The New Order and its sequel, is leading the proj
