We were all expecting the Starfield showcase event to happen in the near future, but now it looks like we’ll have to wait, as Fallout and Skyrim developer Bethesda is apparently still “sorting things out”. More details about the RPG and Starfield’s mysterious release date may still be a long way off.
On January 25, Bethesda held a joint event with Microsoft where they revealed the release date for Redfall. A separate event is planned exclusively for Starfield, with Bethesda stating that the open world game’s release date is coming “very soon”.
Starfield is expected to release in the first half of 2023, so it follows that the event will take place shortly. However, judging by new comments from Bethesda, that may not be the case. Apparently, the developer is still “sorting things out” before revealing anything new about Starfield.
Writing on Bethesda’s official Discord channel, Starfield, Developer Community Manager “VaultOfDaedalus” says, “We’ll have more information to share about the storefront when it’s ready, as we continue to figure it out.” I know that’s not the answer you want, but nothing specific is hidden.”
Potentially, the Starfield showcase is still in the planning stages. If “nothing specific is withheld,” it may also suggest that Bethesda has yet to confirm a date for the event and therefore has nothing to hide from the Starfield community.
We all want to know when Starfield is coming to Steam and Game Pass, but as always, these things take time. While we wait, you might want to get a head start on Starfield character creation, so your personalized space traveler is ready to take to the galaxy on day one.
Otherwise, walk through all the towns in Starfield. You might also want to familiarize yourself with all the Starfield traits, so you can plan your build ahead of time.
