Starfield, Bethesda’s upcoming Sci-Fi RPG, has been delayed for a second time.
The game was initially set to release on November 11th 2022, before being moved to the first half of 2023, but with no specific date. The game will now launch on September 6th. The new release date was confirmed in an announcement video published by Bethesda.
The previously announced Starfield showcase was also dated, with a deep dive into Bethesda’s new IP set to take place on June 11th.
In the announcement video, Bethesda’s Todd Howard thanked fans for their “support and excitement about the game.”
“From myself and everybody here at Bethesda, we are so excited to finally tell you when Starfield is coming out this year,” Howard said. “We have poured ourselves into this game, and even I’m surprised how much we can pour, it is large.”
“This June, we’re going to bring you into the studio, and give you a deep dive in the game at our Starfield direct.” Howard continued. “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.”
In November of last year, Howard appeared on the Lex Fridman podcast, where he described the decision to delay as tough, but ultimately “the right thing to do.” It was also revealed that Bethesda are working with “the top engineers at Xbox” to ensure the game performs great on consoles.
