Starfield: Official Launch Date Announcement

Get ready to embark on an epic journey when Starfield, the first new universe in 25 years from Bethesda Game Studios, launches on September 6, 2023.

Obscure_Observer82d ago (Edited 82d ago )

HELL YEAH!!!

Bethesda´s biggest open world RPG and new IP in 22 years is finally upon us!

BORN GOTY!!!

Terry_B82d ago

Hopefully Microsoft forces Bethesda to bug test their game for once. ;)

darthv7282d ago

i think that is what is taking the most time, and why its not releasing in the first half of 23 but now the second half.

JokerBoy12982d ago (Edited 82d ago )

@darthv72 I also suspect these delays are to work a 60fps performance mode into the game after Todd let it slip the game would be 30fps.

fr0sty82d ago

"the first new universe in 25 years from Bethesda Game Studios" shows just how stagnant the creativity at Bethesda has become. Can you name another major publisher that hasn't made a new universe/franchise in 25 years?

CrimsonWing6982d ago

ok you win comment of the day, lol.

peppeaccardo81d ago

Wait ... so we finallly know when the day-one-update will be released ? :P :P :P

LordoftheCritics81d ago

It's looking good.

2023 is turning out better than anticipated.

More like Game of the Generation.

Looks amazing.

__SteakDeck__82d ago

How can ya’ll call a game, “Game of The Generation” When ya’ll haven’t played it yet? LMAO

Terry_B82d ago

"More like Game of the Generation."

OKAY! (lol)

sparky7782d ago

Guys go and play some games seriously, just because you won't have access to Starfield doesn't mean you need to deny the inevitable.

__SteakDeck__82d ago

@sparky77 They won’t need access to Starfield. They’ll have access to FF 16 and Spider Man 2. Lol

-Foxtrot82d ago

OH…there it is

The fanboyism

Forgetting some people here actually do have Xbox Series X or have a PC

This isn’t about the game, it’s about you guys jumping the shark saying Game of the Generation when we still know very little, knowing how buggy their past games are and because as a pure Xbox player have been starved of new games that a drop of water looks like an ocean

sparky7782d ago

Good go play those games while the rest of us play the Game of the Generation which is Starfield :)

SenorFartCushion82d ago

-Foxtrot

You’re all fanboys one way or another.

__SteakDeck__82d ago

@sparky77 Calling a game, “Game of The Generation only 2 years into the Gen and you haven’t even played it, is just LMAO. You’re either trolling, or you’re a desperate Xbox fanboy.

Aloymetal82d ago

If you think about it, anything could be ''game of the generation'' for xbox.

jznrpg82d ago (Edited 82d ago )

Holy crap you guys really do need some more games to call something game of the generation without seeing a lot . This is the problem with Xbox. They don’t have to do much and you will praise it to hell and be happy with whatever . One AAA MS game in 3 years and you are so happy ? I don’t get it

-Foxtrot82d ago

@ SenorFartCushion26

Not really

I’ll call out whoever if they are in the wrong or I don’t like the look of something.

Just for me, at the minute, between the two, Sony seems to be doing more for gamers and even then no company is perfect.

I’ll buy this, I love Bethesda games but I’m not going to call it game of the generation before seeing more on it. Even with enjoying Skyrim I still was uneasy about it being Game of the Year with the awful bugs present.

Sonic188182d ago

The funny thing about his comment is that he truly believes that 😂 No man sky clone incoming

Broncob82d ago

Don't count on it, they regard bugs as features lol

Old McGroin82d ago

@-Foxtrot

Nobody needs your permission to be excited about something, get over yourself.

thesoftware73082d ago

I get them same vibes, this game will be huge, and the scope and graphics look phenomenal.

Zombieburger63882d ago

I can already tell you it won’t be goty. Baldurs gate 3 will easily beat it in quality, content, and polish.

Minimox1682d ago

@__SteakDeck__ they called it "Game of the Generation" because it took more that one generation to make xD

1Victor82d ago

What everyone fails to comprehend is that they need to read the find prints on that comment
“More like Game of the Generation. ”
Here they are magnified with a electron microscope
“Not based on reality based on my hopes, wishes , extremely small concepts of reality and not taking my medication”
My take
Does it have potential yes but remember cyber punk 2047 or whatever was also called game of the year/generation and we know how that release turned out, so let’s wait and see if it wins game of the month and work from there 🤷🏿

JackBNimble82d ago

So let these guy's be excited instead of trashing all things xbox.
You sonybois look extremely biased too , just give it a rest already and enjoy your ps5.

-Foxtrot82d ago

@ Old McGroin

Oh of course I will…as soon as you stop being a dick 🤷🏻‍♂️

Lionsguard82d ago

It's like people have completely forgotten about the lessons from Cyberpunk.

Profchaos82d ago

We all hailed cyberpunk the game of the generation before anyone got hands on.

Bathyj82d ago

Tell me you're not basing that off the terrible gameplay they showed and yet another CGI trailer

ocelot0782d ago

@_SteakDeck_

I love how silly and forgetful xbots are. Remember this is not exclusive to Xbox.

Its also available on pc. Will also be available on Steam Deck for that handheld and console like experience. But guess what else it's available on? Xbox Cloud lol. You know that service anyone with a smart TV or tablet or phone has access to? Yer that one.

For the low low low low price or £2.70 a month I'll be enjoying this game. Maybe on my PC maybe in bed via my steam deck like I have been enjoying Forza and High on Life.

andy8582d ago

Game of the Generation? Interesting how you know that without playing it. It might not even be the game of September 2023 if Spiderman releases then nevermind a Generation 😂😂

edeprez81d ago

No man's sky of the current generation maybe. Kidding, the artwork just isn't grabbing me, it looks a little stale. The story and quests could completely negate that for me, if they are intriguing. I actually hope it's good, I'll grab my series S outta the basement and do a single month of game pass, hopefully for a dollar or something.

repsahj81d ago

even I would feel the same way if I bought a console on launch and then no major game came out as big as this for almost 3 years. of course Automatic goty even though I haven't played it yet. XD

kidding aside...I'm also excited about this game, I hope it will be great. Because if not, I don't know how the series owners will feel.

Lifexline82d ago (Edited 82d ago )

Yeah I’m really excited for this game hopefully it turns out well. They need to take their time and make a great game.

But having a game like mass effect in that it’s an rpg/shooter in space it’s been sorely needed. Can’t wait to see more.

Sonic188182d ago (Edited 82d ago )

@Obscure_Observer

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will win GOTY

KyRo82d ago (Edited 82d ago )

This will be another Bethesda game riddled with bugs, performance issues, no doubt more cringe voice acting and questionable animations that everyone will ignore but scrutinize other games for the exact same issues.

Bethesda get away with murder when releasing quite frankly barely above average games and before you call me a Sony Pony, I've had this view on their average games since Oblivion (Morrowind on the OG Xbox was amazing for it's time).

Bethesda has some amazing studios behind them, iD, Tango etc but Bethesda Softworks need to be called out for their laziness. Not praised and given GOTY for average games

ThePacemaker82d ago

Born GOTY?

You wish X.. fanboy

GOTY is reserved to the sequel of a 97% metacritic game.

Hint: it comes out of Kyoto.

Elda82d ago (Edited 82d ago )

"BORN GOTY!!!" By that trailer? Yeah right...LOL!!

Obscure_Observer82d ago

"By that trailer?"

THAT trailer already got your precious FFXVI destroyed! The game looks superb and nothing on PS5 comes closer! It will shut the damn mouths of haters that keeping on hating on Xbox SS.

Besides, I don´t believe you understood what that trailer is about nor I would expect it from you.

What I found curious is you in another Starfield news topic, since you said you have no interest in this game. I think I just catch you yet in another lie. XD

STARS82d ago

@Obscure_Observer

We'll see how Starfield and FFXVI fare against each other, and you slagging on FFXVI when Elda didn't even mention it, already just shows your insecurity. Also, we haven't even really seen Spider-Man 2 yet, so I think you should keep your expectations in check a bit more before running your mouth like an imbecilic fanboy. Starfield has the potential to be good, but let's see if it actually delivers on that front first.

Sonic188182d ago (Edited 82d ago )

Starfield was delayed again to September. How many delays has it been now 😂😂😂

Lightning7782d ago (Edited 82d ago )

I was off! I said June Oh well well can't be right all the time. So they really needed more time im turns out. It's out of the first half unfortunately. The direct is in June however.

Hopefully the game will be polished. It already looks polished from this teaser.

Goozex82d ago

Haha looks like they delayed it again. Sorry pal just gotta have a little more patience.

crazyCoconuts82d ago

I think OO is trolling y'all lol

Othegamer582d ago

Looks like it worked too.. all the emotions and reactions speak for itself. Lol

DarXyde82d ago

GOTY contender at best.

There's a literal Zelda releasing this year.

82d ago
Crows9082d ago

I do hope so.
Except you know...we dont really know at all.

Elda81d ago

Something you fail to realize (which you do in every single article that you comment in)... is that I can comment on any article that I want to on this site even if I'm not really interested in Starfield. At first, I wanted to know what Starfield was all about but after seeing the first gameplay trailer last year it looked boring like an NMS clone. If you want to bring FFXVI into the equation the gameplay that was shown a few days ago looks 100 times more exciting including more fun to play than Starfield. This new trailer had absolutely no type of gameplay but someone on a monitor running a character around a desert-like area, while the rest that was shown was corny CGI. You will boast anything associated with MS/XB as if it's GOTY even if they don't show any gameplay. MS may own Bethesda but MS/XB brand had nothing to do with the creation of Starfield. Starfield is still a Bethesda game...know that.

Obscure_Observer81d ago

"Something you fail to realize (which you do in every single article that you comment in)... is that I can comment on any article that I want to on this site even if I'm not really interested in Starfield."

BS! I have zero interest in soccer games so you´ll won´t find me commenting on soccer related articles, simply because if I have not interest in such games, I have no REASONS to be on such topics. You are not fooling anyone but yourself pretending you don´t care.

I can tell you´ll won´t find something more interesting to do come June 11 other than wasting your precious time on Starfield yet again. Just don´t mind me calling you out on your lying bs yet again. XD

"I wanted to know what Starfield was all about but after seeing the first gameplay trailer last year it looked boring like an NMS clone."

Great! Then why you´re here? Can´t you see you´re acting like an insane person?

"If you want to bring FFXVI into the equation the gameplay that was shown a few days ago looks 100 times more exciting including more fun to play than Starfield"

I don´t like games with messy and aimless button meshing mechanics, it has potential to make a gamer bored quite fast, I think they´re more suited for younger gamers. Not to mention that I found the main character to be OP while the enemy´s AI left a lot to be desired. But that´s just my initial impressions. I won´t crave a judgment just yet without more information.

"This new trailer had absolutely no type of gameplay but someone on a monitor running a character around a desert-like area, while the rest that was shown was corny CGI"

What I saw is a very polished game running at butter-smooth 60fps on an actual Xbox Series X console, which is nothing but awesome news for gamers concerned about performance and polish issues. About the CGI... well... that´s the part I don´t expect you to you to understand, because, unlike NMS, Starfield is a story-driven game and the "anomaly" is quite a singular and complex part of it.

"You will boast anything associated with MS/XB as if it's GOTY even if they don't show any gameplay."

Lmao! That was a joke! I don´t really care whether a game turns GOTY or not. I´ll be happy for any studio and developer awarded with any award or even a positive mention in recognition for their hard work.

"MS may own Bethesda but MS/XB brand had nothing to do with the creation of Starfield. Starfield is still a Bethesda game...know that."

Starfield is an Xbox IP *funded* via Microsoft´s money and resources. The very reason WHY the game got delayed almost an year, is because Xbox Game Studios wants it to be the best game it can be.

"First, let me say that we’re not making any landmark announcements or changes right now. As we’ve all shared, the expectation is that Bethesda Softworks and our studios will continue as we have in the past, [just with more support and resources than we’ve ever had before.] Obviously, Game Pass has been an important initiative for Xbox, and we’ll be working on putting even more of our games into Game Pass than ever before. Beyond that? Stay tuned, we’re just getting started together."

Could hard facts for you.

Sonic188181d ago (Edited 81d ago )

I have to agree. Final Fantasy 16 does look better than Starfield. Miles better imo. If I wanna play Starfield I'll just play No man Sky 💯

Elda81d ago (Edited 81d ago )

That's right go off girl!!! LMAO!! Again I can & will comment on any article on this site if I want to..know that. If you must know I sure will be watching on June 11 like I have watched all MS shows doesn't mean I'll be gloating & praising what they show because, for the past few XB showcase, there hasn't been anything shown to gloat over like you always do. Please!..who do you think you're kidding...lol!!...you weren't joking about Starfield being GOTY...you hope anything XB releases will be GOTY something XB hasn't had in over a decade, that's something Sony has done multiple times....lol. Yes I own an XBSX but I didn't pay $500 for it,I paid under $100 knowing it's my last console to go to because it just doesn't have the exclusives like the competition. Now you want to talk about insane just look at the BS you say in these articles including the novel you just replied to me...lol. You say BS like an immature little fangirl that's delusional & completely in denial including that most folks here on this site have told you so. Your comments always have the most downvotes, your initial comment has 130 downvotes..lmao That's because you say nothing but BS! Chile..you seriously need some help...lol!!

Obscure_Observer81d ago

"If you must know I sure will be watching on June 11"

Like I said you would. Liars and hypocrites are easy to read. So predicable its hilarious. I´ll be there to call you out on your bs yet again. :)

"who do you think you're kidding...lol!!...you weren't joking about Starfield being GOTY"

I was, all it takes is a simple mention GOTY for any game non available on Playstation and you pathetic fanboys will go berserk on some sort of a collective mental breakdown. Lmao! So I won´t lie to you by telling I not gonna have good fun at the expanses of fanboys like you crying and moaning in case Playstation lose yet another GOTY. XD

" Yes I own an XBSX but I didn't pay $500 for it,I paid under $100"

Lmao!!! You´re so full of sh!t. How can you even look at the mirror is beyond me. Your lies knows no bounds. GTFO. XD

oIMyersIo81d ago

The number of absolutely delusional hypocrites in this thread is astounding.

They’re calling out people hyped for Starfield and saying you can’t claim something is GOTY before playing it but these same people will sit and jerk the gherkin over a GoW or SpiderMan CGI trailer and call it GOTY. Hypocrisy is rife with these Sony fanboys.

Elda81d ago

Your boy or girl is the epitome of hypocrisy among everything else.

Elda81d ago

Girl..there you go again with more BS replies that always get downvoted...lol. You do know when you assume it makes one an ass. I traded in my XBSS that I won at my jobs Xmas party in 2021, which I traded in for the XBSX in late 2022 at my nearest Gamestop for under $100 due to me being a Gamestop member & customer that I have accumulated so many Gamestop points,store credit including Gamestop coupons as well as knowing the Gamestop staff that always give me discounts so of course to you that's totally unbelievable that I'm lying..lol. Who cares what you believe...lol. You're the one that's unbelievable...lol. The very reason most folks here laugh at your BS & don't believe anything you comment that always has the highest downvotes on this site is because of your delusion of being such a dramatic fangirl.

Obscure_Observer81d ago

Cool story, miss. And you´re right! I don´t believe you. XD

I´ve been here for years and never cared about downvotes on N4G and never will. Lmao! Only sad PS fanatics desperately looking for an itch in funny places needs that to make their lives somewhat meaningful.

I´ll stay true to myself instead of being a mindless drone like you and your bunch. I rather be infamous over a liar and hypocrite like you any time of the year.

Have a good night. ;)

Elda81d ago

Again..girl..You just got to get the last word like a dramatic queen. I don't care if you believe me or not but do know I own a series X for dirt cheap that I use strictly for GP including being my last console to go to because my PS5 is first & foremost to play exclusives & most multiplats. Girl...keep your delusion high, something we see you're very proud of...lmao!!!

Over TOTK? Lol

Xbox Fanboys really downvoting me for this. They’re predicting that Starfield, a game they never played before is going to get GOTY over the sequel to a game that got a 97 Meta. LMAO
