Starfield Release Date Delayed Again, Bethesda Sets September 6 Release Date

gadgets.ndtv.com:

Starfield has been delayed yet again. In an update video, studio Bethesda Softworks confirmed that its upcoming space-set RPG is slated to release on September 6. The title was previously delayed to the first half of 2023 and now sees another pushback. In an update video, Starfield director Todd Howard promised a deep dive session called ‘Starfield Direct' on June 11 to detail features of the highly-anticipated title. A presentation for Starfield was initially planned for January's Xbox Developer Direct, but Microsoft decided against it, as the publisher didn't want Starfield to overshadow the other games. One of the highlights to emerge from that show was Hi-Fi Rush, a new cartoonish rhythm-based game from Tango Gameworks.

“We have poured ourselves into this game, and even I'm surprised how much we can pour– it is large,” Howard said in the Starfield update video. “There's so much that we still have to show you. The game has many of the hallmarks that you'd expect from us, but it's also a very unique experience.” The game marks Bethesda's first newly-crafted universe in 25 years, setting you among the stars, as you create a custom character and embark on an epic, futuristic journey, exploring planets and engaging with their inhabitants. Set in the year 2330, players will start out as a space miner, before eventually joining the Constellation — a group of space explorers who seek rare artefacts from across the galaxy. Howard describes it as “Skyrim in space.”

An interview from last year revealed that Bethesda is leaning heavily on character customisation with Starfield. The dialogue system, for instance, relies on a Persuasion system, forcing players to spend points on specific traits to gain an edge in conversations
