Starfield And Redfall Delayed To 2023, Gameplay Deep Dives Coming "Soon"
Two major Bethesda games, Starfield and Redfall, have been delayed to 2023. Starfield originally had a release date of November 11 for PC and Xbox Series X|S, while Redfall's launch date had yet to be announced but was slated for this summer.
Specific new release dates for either game have not been shared yet, but they're both set to launch during the first half of 2023, meaning by the end of next June. Gameplay deep dives for both games are expected «soon.»
«The teams at Arkane Austin and Bethesda Game Studios have incredible ambitions for their games, and we want to insure that you receive the best, most polished versions of them,» Bethesda said in a statement announcing the delays. A follow-up from Arkane and Harvey Smith described Redfall as the studio's «most ambitious game yet,» adding, «The team needs more time to bring the game to life.»

Starfield's slip to 2023 is the more surprising development of the two, as back in June, Bethesda's Todd Howard said that he was positive that the game would avoid being delayed. «We're confident in the date,» Howard said at the time. «Otherwise, we wouldn't be announcing it.»
Head of Xbox Phil Spencer also recently tweeted that he'd met with Bethesda, so it's possible that the decision to delay the game was discussed at the company this week.
