The highest bidder for the company’s package will have the opportunity to make a character for Starfield . In addition, the auction winner will walk away with an Xbox Series X, recalling that Bethesda recently announced that it would be acquired by the console’s creators , and sixteen titles from the studio.

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

Virtually nothing is confirmed about Starfield except that it's Bethesda Game Studios ' first entirely original RPG IP in many years and that the company considers it and The Elder Scroll VI are its top priorities . A 2018 teaser seemingly implied a hard sci-fi tone, with more realistic spacecraft than those in games like The Outer Worlds or Mass Effect . In fact, designer Todd Howard says he visited SpaceX as part of his research, though he has also clarified that the game's spaceflight won't be as " punishing " as it is in the real wo

There's no sign the quoted sources are involved with Starfield , or even Bethesda, but Khan's evaluation of the pandemic on its own is likely enough to some to quash a recent rumor that Starfield could ship this year.

Bethesda's secretive space RPG Starfield is almost certainly going to miss 2021, as suggested by recent reporting about the state of the games industry.

Despite having Fallout 76 launch in less than a month and a ton of other games in the pipeline, perhaps the biggest moment for publisher Bethesda in all of 2018 was when it revealed both Starfield and The Elder Scrolls VI at E3 , the next two titles that Bethesda Game Studios will be creating in the coming years. It was a drastic departure for Bethesda who instead tends to sit on their game announcements until they are closer to actually releas

The damages of the COVID-19 pandemic could affect the industry for years, an anonymous publisher told Fanbyte 's Imran Khan , who retweeted his reporting on April 8 in relation to Bethesda's Deathloop being delayed to September 14. " The truth is, players aren’t going to get every video game we - we, as in every developer - want to put out this year ," the designer of an unspecified game was quoted as saying. " That sucks, but it’s the truth. We don’t want to put out a mess, we want to put out the best games we can, and we’re moving at three-quarters speed on average days and way less on bad days.

Hines continued by also talking about how even though Starfield and The Elder Scrolls VI have been officially announced, that doesn't mean they're even close to being ready. "I try really hard to manage people's expectations. It's not like ' Fallout 76 this year, Starfield next year, and then TES6 the year after.' The timeline isn't any different. What's different is just trying to be transparent and say, 'Don't freak out, the next thing we're doing is single-player [in Starfield], [and] we are making TES
