Similar to the Developer Direct stream that gave us release dates for Redfall and Minecraft Legends, but sadly not for Forza Motorsport, Bethesda has announced that a Starfield Direct will air on June 11th, after the Xbox summer showcase, so we should learn more about it then. It was originally set to release on Bethesda Game Studios' favourite date of November 11th, 2022 but was delayed alongside Arkane's vampire-slaying FPS Redfall into the first half of 2023. Ultimately, the aim of Starfield is for us to explore over 100 systems to answer one question: "What is out there?"ĭo we have a Starfield release date?Yes, the Starfield release date is September 6th, 2023, for Xbox Series X|S and PC.

As such, we'll be free to craft much of the story ourselves, which will centre on the factions we decide to aid. Not a huge amount has been revealed about Starfield's main plotline so far, but we do know that it takes place after a war between two of the game's largest factions: the United Colonies and the Freestar Collective - a similar plotline to some seen in many of Bethesda's other games. We join Constellation when visiting the capital city of New Atlantis, and while it'll be the one constant faction we work with during the main quest, which should take between 30 and 40 hours to complete, it's only one of many factions that will be available to us. What's it about?Set in the year 2330, Starfield sees us explore the final frontier as a member of Constellation, the only remaining group of explorers scouring the galaxy for rare artefacts. Taking us to the final frontier, space, Starfield offers the studio's signature features like deep character customisation and untethered exploration, where you are the centre of the story and free to explore more than 1,000 planets in any way that you wish.

It's the first new IP the studio has released in 25 years, and we'll be looking towards the stars for our adventures this time around. What is Starfield?Keeping in line with the other two big franchises under the Bethesda Game Studios banner, Starfield is a single-player RPG through and through.
