A new report suggests Bethesda's Starfield will be able to run on the current generation of game consoles. This seemingly conflicts with claims by Todd Howard - Director and Executive Producer of Starfield - that the design team behind the long-awaited game is devoted to " the next generation " of both gaming experiences and electronic hardw

That being said, Howard warns that it is still going to be a while until Starfield is finally treated to a proper public (or even private) demonstration. Moreover, the game doesn’t have a solid release date (as it's subject to change), Https://Starfieldgalaxy.com/ so the team will only show off the space-bound RPG once Bethesda feels confident enough in it. This goes in line with a previous statement by Pete Hines, who said that the community would have to wait a while for a detailed reveal. Hines mentioned that Starfield would be worth the exhausting wait , though, which isn’t hard to believe considering the amount of work reportedly being put into the development of the ti

"What systems we put it out on - what's the hardware requirements - is still to be determined. We're pushing it; we're thinking very, very far in future so we're building something that will handle next-generation hardware. That's what we're building on right now, that's where our mind is, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't exist on the current systems as wel

While Starfield is still likely years from the release, players recently were treated to a few leaked screenshots allegedly taken from a 2018 build. Although rather spare, these images showed third-person gameplay of an player-controlled astronaut and a piece of concept art depicting a futuristic, hyper-detailed ship render with color. A neat part of the leak were the HUD icons in the gameplay screenshot, one of which showed the remaining amount of O2 in the player character’s oxygen tank, pointing to a major survival element that could make it into the final game. Interestingly, it may be this leak and the huge interest it generated that's obligated Bethesda to share some new official information about the ti

Every tiny bit of information regarding Starfield is valuable due to the overall scarcity of details present. With that in mind, the latest few revelations by Howard will likely ramp up the anticipation to a whole new level for Bethesda faithful. Considering the involvement of procedural generation, the game’s world is likely to consist of several massive areas across it's in-game galaxy/universe, complete with unique planets, which sounds revolutionary for Bethesda’s games' traditionally singular, hand-crafted locations. On top of that, the absence of any multiplayer components will no doubt be a huge relief to those disappointed by online-oriented Fallout

COVID-19 has had a low impact on small developers, many of whom were already working remotely. Big-budget studios with offices, hundreds of workers, and huge media assets have had to scramble to reorganize, and even still have found that they can't maintain the pace they're used to. Games like Gotham Knights and Gran Turismo 7 have already been pushed to 2022 or beyond, and it's likely that more 2021 game delays will follow . Bethesda is likely eager to avoid rushing Starfield considering the initial disasters of games like Cyberpunk 2077 and its own Fallout 76 , and agreeing players likely aren't worried about the game hitting a presumed release window if it means it will be high-qual

Todd Howard has promised that Bethesda's upcoming titles Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6 will be running on technology that represents the company's biggest engine overhaul since the release of Oblivion back in 2006. This bold claim comes in the wake of Microsoft's massive buyout of ZeniMax Studios and all of its associated studios, including Bethesda. The buyout cost Microsoft $7.5 billion and results in the company owning the rights not only to Elder Scrolls and Starfield but to Doom , Fallout , and many other franchises as w

The announcements of Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6 generated a lot of excitement among fans, but the long silence has dampened things pretty considerably. Bethesda swears that Starfield will be worth the long wait , but before too long, it's going to have to give fans something. This engine overhaul is worth getting excited about, to be sure, but it still pales in comparison to any actual, solid news on either Starfield or The Elder Scrolls

According to Bethesda Chief Software Engineer and spokesperson Todd Howard, Starfield is going to be the studio’s biggest game to date and focus solely on its single-player RPG experience. Little to nothing has been known about the game so far until the first supposed screenshots of the RPG title leaked last week, so this is the biggest news about the game to come directly from Bethesda since its cryptic E3 2018 de

In the years that followed Starfield 's announcement, the company has not greatly expanded fan’s knowledge of what to expect for the title. After the news hit last month that Bethesda had been tapped to work on the new Indiana Jones game, many worried that games like Starfield would be pushed back . Bethesda’s Pete Hines was quick to assure players after the announcement that the publisher and developer was still focused on its other new IP. This sentiment has recently been backed by one industry insider who claims to have reason to believe Starfield could be coming out during the latter half of this ye
