New Starfield Delay Coming September 6th – Xbox

The game is now expected to be released on September 6 for PC and Xbox Series X | S, according to the latest ad with a related video. Starfield — originally announced in summer 2018 — was supposed to debut in the first half of this year, with Bethesda announcing the first delay since the game was originally slated for release on November 11, 2022.

Bethesda also announced when the game’s big reveal will be next summer. This one is called Starfield Direct and it’s set for June 11th. Starfield wasn’t shown during the Xbox’s Developer Direct event in January, as Microsoft wanted to give the game a separate showing.

“There’s a lot we want to show you,” game director Todd Howard said in announcing the new release date. “The game has many of the features you’d expect from us, but it’s also a unique experience.” The video also includes a few other gameplay clips, including a battle with an alien.

Starfield Direct will premiere right after Xbox and Bethesda’s big annual summer launch. The dual events will take place right before E3, though it’s unclear if Microsoft will officially participate in the show this year. Meanwhile, Bethesda is preparing to release its co-op title, Redfall, in May.
