Starfield creator Bethesda Game Studios is helping to raise funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation's Mid-Atlantic chapter’s Evening of Wishes: Hope from Home auction by donating an eye-catching prize: the chance for the auction’s winner to create a character in the studio’s anticipated science-fiction title. Starfield was first announced during Bethesda’s E3 showcase back in 2018 standing alongside games like Rage 2, Doom Eternal , and the company's long-awaited next entry in the Elder Scrolls series . However, like The Elder Scrolls VI , Starfield ’s E3 reveal consisted of a short trailer that showed off little of the actual g
New details about the mysterious Starfield project have come to light and it looks to be an absolute game-changer for Bethesda, to the extent that Skyrim will seem like Morrowind when Oblivion came
Upcoming titles The Elder Scrolls 6 and Starfield will be available on Xbox Game Pass on day one of their launches, according to Bethesda executive producer Todd Howard. Microsoft's acquisition of the company isn't yet wrapped up, but this news indicates both parties are confident the deal will finish without a hi
The Make-A-Wish auction page seems to have revealed an interesting, though admittedly very small, detail about the game’s development. Starfield creators will reach out to schedule developing this prize character with the auction winner in the months following the end of February. That is not much to go on but it doesn't rule out a release date for the end of this year. Hopefully, there will be a press event from either Microsoft or Bethesda soon that will tell fans a little bit m
Howard remained as tight-lipped as ever about a release date for either title, only saying it'll " be a while. " This could mean years, but it could very well mean months, considering Howard's been historically blasé about release dates that ended up happening less than a year later. The implication of two major titles being available on the very first day of their release makes a pretty strong case for the notion Game Pass subscribers will have immediate access to all future Bethesda titles. It's just as possible those same subscribers will essentially never have to pay outright for a Bethesda game in the future, as long it's an Xbox exclusive (which quite a few of them will
Recently, Howard took part in a Develop:Brighton Conference . During a conversation with James Batchelor of GamesIndustry.biz, Howard revealed that while Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6 are still a ways off, they'll be available on Xbox Game Pass on the first day of their respective releases. This confirms speculation on how Bethesda would handle its future releases . Howard also dropped a few more tidbits about the two anticipated titles, including that Starfield will eschew multiplayer in favor of a singleplayer format and will be in a universe even bigger than Fallout
In addition to a larger world filled with procedurally generated content, Starfield's aesthetic will see a major improvement compared to previous games. A number of changes have been made to animation and rendering systems, according to Howard. Admittedly this could result in some pros and cons compared to Skyrim. For instance, Oblivion had better special effects and a more colorful world compared to Morrowind, but facial animations seemed more of a liability than an improvem
On the other hand, console hardware has changed considerably since the early days of the home video gaming market. With iterative consoles like the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X now allowing console gamers to upgrade their system to accommodate new developments in gaming hardware in the same way that PC gamers upgrade their systems, it is entirely possible that the current generation of iterative systems will be able to run Starfield ships|https://Starfieldgalaxy.com/ without issue, albeit at the cost of a slight upgr
A week ago, an industry insider shared their knowledge regarding Bethesda’s plans to launch Starfield at the end of 2021 . According to a short post on ResetEra forums, the company was allegedly aiming at a 2021 release date as of a few months ago. These plans could’ve been impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which has negatively affected many titles that are being currently developed. The insider also added that the alleged 2021 release was being discussed at the end of 2020, which basically means that a lot could’ve changed since t
"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
Information about the game is still scant regarding setting, gameplay, and story. However, according to creative director Todd Howard in a recent interview at the Develop: Brighten Conference , fans should be excited for what’s coming from a technical standpo
