Starfield
Bethesda’s long-awaited space RPG was delayed the same day as Redfall. It was hard to believe considering the studio had the “11.11.22” date picked out for months. But it turns out Todd Howard and co. needed the extra months to add thousands of more lines of dialogue to the game and hopefully corral its seemingly sprawling intra-galactic adventure into the type of thing Elder Scrolls and Fallout fans have been pining for. “These decisions are hard on teams making the games & our fans,” Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer said at the time. “While I fully support giving teams time to release these great games when they are ready, we hear the feedback.” If Starfield’s anything like Skyrim, once it finally releases we’ll never see the end of it.
Reason for delay: “incredible ambition”
New release date: 2023
