It’s still one hell of an elephant not in the room, especially if two of the four games shown — Redfall and The Elder Scrolls Online ’s Necrom expansion — are big Bethesda projects launching in May and June, respectively.

It doesn’t seem likely that Bethesda would want to cannibalize interest in those projects (or Starfield) by packing that game into a May or June release window.

Unless the Xbox folks have a surprise shadow drop, à la Tango Gameworks’ Hi-Fi Rush, planned for Starfield — which would seem ill-advised — the sci-fi RPG’s release is starting to feel slippery.

Microsoft, during last year’s E3-adjacent summer showcase, made a big deal out of telling fans all the things they wanted to play would arrive by the first half of 2023.

In November, Howard, Bethesda Game Studios’ creative director, spoke with podcaster Lex Fridman about Starfield and the difficult decision to delay the game the first time, from a November 2022 launch to the somewhat softer, less definite window it now has.
