Starfield would originally release on November 11th, as an homage to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, with which its regularly compared. Redfall would initially release in September 2022.
Here’s what won’t be delayed – gameplay for both Redfall and Starfield
Thus far, details surrounding the gameplay from either Redfall or Starfield were scarce. In its announcement of the delay, Bethesda also mentioned that they “can’t wait to share our first deep dive into the gameplay for both Redfall and Starfield soon.” This likely refers to the upcoming Xbox and Bethesda showcase. The showcase goes live in exactly a month, on June 12.
Last week, it became known that the showcase would run for approximately 90 minutes, significantly longer than Playstation’s recent “State of Play” showcase, which ran for 22 minutes. As to what the showcase will feature, it’s thus quite likely that a significant portion of it will cover more details around Starfield and Redfall‘s gameplay.
For those who can’t quench their appetite for more Starfield until then, not to worry. Bethesda continues the Into the Starfield series. This is a series of mini-documentaries about various aspects around and behind the game. From Bethesda’s vision for the future to Starfield’s RPG experience and its music, the episodes showcase the decisions and processes behind Bethesda’s ambitious “space Skyrim.”
