Gamers eagerly anticipating the release of Bethesda's Starfield will have to wait a bit longer. The game has been delayed once again, but it has now been confirmed to launch on September 6, 2022, for PC and Xbox Series X and S. Bethesda announced the new release date in an official trailer, and promised more information in a Starfield Direct event on June 11.
In the announcement trailer, Todd Howard, the game director, said that they have been pouring their hearts into the game. “We have poured ourselves into this game, and even I’m surprised how much we can pour. It is large. We’re playing the game all the time.”
Howard added that there’s a lot to explore in the game, which will offer a unique experience with many of the hallmarks that gamers expect from Bethesda. “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.”
