The two developers also separately shared some comments on the news. Bethesda Game Studios wrote on Twitter: We want to thank everyone for their excitement for Redfall and Starfield. That energy is a huge part of what inspires all of us every day and drives our own excitement for what we are creating. We can’t wait to share our first deep dive into the gameplay for both Redfall and Starfield soon. Thank you for your support. Arkane Austin said: Starfield received its original release date of November 11st, 2022 at the joint Xbox/Bethesda E3 2021 showcase. It was a date of particular significance, chosen specifically because it would have been exactly eleven years after the release of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Bethesda’s most successful game to date. Bethesda Game Studios Director Todd Howard said at the time the studio was confident in the date, otherwise they wouldn’t have announced it. Redfall didn’t have a fixed release date, but it was targeting a Summer 2022 launch. Both games will be released on PC and Xbox Series S|X. With the removal of these two games from the Bethesda lineup for this year, the Xbox release schedule for the remainder of 2022 is certainly far more barren. We’ll see if Microsoft can come up with some game announcement to counter the effect of these delays.
