We haven’t seen a lot of space RPG Starfield for a game that was supposed to come out last year. An edited 15-minute gameplay trailer from last year is our best look at it. Yet, presently, following a postponement out of 2022, we at long last have the official launch date: 6 September

“We have poured ourselves into this game, and even I’m surprised at how much we can pour. It is large,” Bethesda’s Todd Howard said in the announcement video. “We’re playing the game all the time—shout-out over here to lead producer Tim Lamb—old-school fans, you may remember him from a ‘making of’ Oblivion video, where he’s sitting on a similar sofa, doing similar things.”

Starfield was previously anticipated to be released in the first half of 2023, so the new date is a little bit of a delay. Instead, we’ll get a Starfield Direct presentation on June 11 that, according to Howard, will provide a “deep dive into the game.”

“There’s so much that we still have to show you,” he said. “The game has many of the hallmarks you’d expect from us, but it’s also a very unique experience.”
