The removal from the game of the language that I speak to my family, the language that I think in, is very sad. I must say right away that I am Russian-speaking, but I myself am not from Russia. Games immerse you in their atmosphere, I really like it. I really love Bethesda games (Oblivion one love), hundreds of hours in Skyrim, now I'm playing Fallout 4 again. Starfield will be the subject of a Xbox Developer Direct showcase on June 11.Excuse me, but this is a cry from the heart. “Believe it or not, we’re kind of the same. “We know you’ve waited a long time to play something new from us,” Bethesda Game Studios creative director Todd Howard said in an announcement. 6 launch for the RPG, which obviously is outside the first half of 2023. Bethesda Softworks on Wednesday announced a Sept. Update (March 8): Starfield is indeed delayed. It’s doubtful they’ll want to comment on that, but if they do, we’ll be sure to update it here. We’ve asked Xbox and Bethesda representatives if Starfield should be considered delayed. And I wish they didn’t take as long as they did. In November, Howard, Bethesda Game Studios’ creative director, spoke with podcaster Lex Fridman about Starfield and the difficult decision to delay the game the first time, from a November 2022 launch to the somewhat softer, less definite window it now has. Starfield was implied to be one of those things. The most recent information about Starfield’s launch came last May, in which Bethesda told fans that it had been pushed to a first-half of 2023 launch window (along with Redfall.) Microsoft, during last year’s E3-adjacent summer showcase, made a big deal out of telling fans all the things they wanted to play would arrive by the first half of 2023. (As is Forza’s Microsoft and Turn 10 seem unwilling to recommit to a first-half-of-2023 window for their racing game.) Unless the Xbox folks have a surprise shadow drop, à la Tango Gameworks’ Hi-Fi Rush, planned for Starfield - which would seem ill-advised - the sci-fi RPG’s release is starting to feel slippery. June 20 - The Elder Scrolls Online: Necrom. The updates we got Wednesday from Xbox and Bethesda on Wednesday show that the first half of Microsoft’s 2023 game calendar now looks like this: Remember that, during the Xbox and Bethesda Showcase last June, Microsoft more or less wrote an IOU to fans, promising that Starfield would be among a large catalog of highly anticipated games launching in the first half of 2023 (and, as first-party games, available the same day to Xbox Game Pass subscribers). It doesn’t seem likely that Bethesda would want to cannibalize interest in those projects (or Starfield) by packing that game into a May or June release window. It’s still one hell of an elephant not in the room, especially if two of the four games shown - Redfall and The Elder Scrolls Online’s Necrom expansion - are big Bethesda projects launching in May and June, respectively. There’s going to be a stand-alone showcase for Starfield at some point. And to be fair to Microsoft and Bethesda Game Studios, they already told us we wouldn’t be hearing anything out of Todd Howard’s next epic role-playing game during Wednesday’s Developer Direct showcase.
