Originally announced back in 2018, long before Microsoft's acquisition of Bethesda, Starfield was described as a "next-generation" RPG set in space, and Bethesda Game Studios' first new franchise in years. As with all first-party Xbox and Bethesda games, it will launch directly into Xbox Game Pass.

Bethesda's Starfield and Redfall have been delayed to 2023 (The Verge)

Bethesda announced that two highly anticipated console exclusive games for Xbox, Starfield and Redfall, have been delayed. Both games are now slated for ...

For example, the sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was recently pushed from its planned holiday release to 2023. Speaking of setting expectations, if Bethesda happens to show off any Elder Scrolls VI footage, keep in mind that it’s likely (sadly) still years away from arriving on consoles and PC. The new space exploration game, which Bethesda has released precious few details about (and, to this date, no actual gameplay footage of), will get some extra development time, as will Redfall, the vampire co-op shooter coming from the team at Arkane that was surprise-announced last year.

Redfall is Arkane's "most ambitious game yet" and will be shown ... (GamesRadar+)

Co-op vampire slayer Redfall is Arkane's "most ambitious game yet" and the studio will give us another look at the Xbox console exclusive "soon".

While Smith did tease that Arkane Austin "can't wait to show [Redfall] off, soon," he didn't specify when we'll get our next look at it. He has, after all, led games at both Arkane Lyon and Arkane Austin while shepherding the Dishonored franchise. As of June 2021, Redfall had been in development for at least four years according to the earliest known job listings related to the project.

Are you bummed or excited to hopefully be playing a more polished and complete product? While no one likes to see highly anticipated games delayed, there have been numerous disappointing releases lately *cough* Cyberpunk 2077 *cough* that have felt rushed, incomplete, and laden with bugs. With the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase just around the corner, gamers have received some disappointing news today.

Bethesda Announces Redfall Delay (Game Rant)

Bethesda announces that two of the year's most anticipated games, Arkane's Redfall and Bethesda Game Studios' Starfield, have been delayed to 2023.

However, a lack of any updates from Xbox Game Studios or Bethesda meant that this grew increasingly unlikely as the Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase for 2022 approaches. Redfall was first announced as part of the Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase in 2021, and was set to be the first Xbox console exclusive title released under Microsoft's acquisition of ZeniMax Media, which was finalized last year. That said, the bad news usually precedes them, and it has once again in this case, with Bethesda announcing that Arkane's upcoming co-operative shooter Redfall has been delayed to 2023.

We can't wait to share our first deep dive into the gameplay for both Redfall and Starfield soon. The teams at Arkane Austin (Redfall) and Bethesda Game Studios (Starfield) have incredible ambitions for their games, and we want to ensure that you receive the best, most polished versions of them. With a Twitter post the developers quietly pushed both projects into 2023, and, considering that we haven't seen gameplay for either, it's not exactly a huge surprise.

The Redfall and Starfield delays leave an unfillable gap in the Xbox ... (GamesRadar)

Microsoft is going to need some big surprises at the Xbox + Bethesda Games Showcase for E3 2022.

Still, for now it's all eyes on E3 2022 to see whether Xbox, Bethesda, and a cavalcade of industry partners can help fill a widening chasm in the Xbox Series X's autumn line up. Sony is in a similar position, with just two PS5 exclusives planned for the remaining months of 2022 – God of War Ragnarok (which is yet to receive a firm release date) and Square Enix's Forspoken on October 11. It's Bethesda Game Studios' first new IP in 25 years, and the first game using the Creation Engine 2 – its predecessor shoulders, perhaps unfairly, blame for the bugs present in Fallout 4 and Skyrim, and Starfield will want to avoid the specter of such comparisons if it can. The risk of either of these games falling short of expectation is too great for Microsoft. Following the acquisition of the ZeniMax Media group in March 2021, we had long anticipated that this would be the year where Xbox's strategy solidified and players saw a return on the investment. You have to imagine that Arkane and Bethesda were neck deep in that mythical final stretch of development ahead of these delay decisions being made, with final certification looming large over the productions. There's this old adage in industry circles, that the last 10% of a video game's development is 90% of the work.
