During the Summer Game Fest 2022 we had the opportunity to discover the nature of Starfield. In fact, Bethesda presented a long gameplay footage, revealing all the main features of its first IP in over twenty years of activity on the video game market. Unfortunately, once the presentation ended, Todd Howard and associates did not want to announce any release date. Understandable, of course: the majestic RPG has already been the subject of a rather sensational postponement and it is clear that all Bethesda executives want to announce the release date when they feel as confident as possible. But the moment doesn't seem too far away.
The first suspicious movement, the one related to the loading of an additional package, could be linked to an expansion or directly to the season pass. In fact, there is no reason why Starfield should not enjoy some packages that will expand the adventure of the players, as has already happened in the past for Fallout 4 for example (which you can buy in the GOTY version on Amazon). The second, on the other hand, concerns the one dedicated to the release date: internally the title is now expected for December 29, 2023 and no longer for a generic "2023". Clearly the game will not be released just before the end of the year, but it is very likely that the inclusion of this date could be somehow connected to the announcement of the final release date, at this point not very far away.
Starfield was originally scheduled for November 11, 2022. Bethesda, however, has preferred to postpone the title, now expected for next year exclusively on PC, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X.
