Starfield is now scheduled to launch in September, which dodges a busy summer release to possibly contend with another highly anticipated game.
Starfield is easily one of the most highly anticipated games coming this year as a landmark science-fiction RPG from Bethesda. Early comparisons between Starfield and No Man’s Sky were made due to how comparable both titles seem, but Starfield still maintains Bethesda’s traditional shooter action from Fallout alongside an immense scale with over 1,000 planets to explore. Likewise, comprehensive ship customization and real-time flight mechanics are welcome additions to the traditional Bethesda RPG formula, and therefore it is likely that open-world exploration will be its main allure.
Otherwise, the breadth of storytelling and gameplay are rather unknown. That will hopefully be explained more during the recently announced Starfield Showcase on June 11, but in the meantime fans have a much longer wait for Starfield than they may have expected. Starfield’s release date has been officially revealed as September 6, making it a fall release when fans had believed it to be releasing in the summer. There are positive and negative considerations about this release date, with one negative being that it could share an intimate release window with Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.
