Insider hints that Bethesda will delay Starfield after Deathloop BethesdaIt seems like Deathloop will be far from the only Bethesda game delayed in 2021, as the major studio appears to be gearing up to announce that Starfield won\u2019t release this year. On Thursday, April 8, Bethesda revealed that Deathloop would have its release date pushed back a few months from May to September to make sure the team had ample time to complete the game. Now, according to former Game Informer and Fanbyte journalist Imran Khan, Starfield will be the next game to be delayed. In a tweet, Khan addressed the Deathloop delay and posted a screenshot to an article he had written about how the global health issue had impacted game development and the industry. https:\/\/twitter.com\/IdleSloth84\/status\/1380386836007247873? \u201cI\u2019ll point out this part of my recent piece. I\u2019ll probably point to it several more times this year,\u201d he captioned the screengrab. In this part of the article, a developer expresses concern that the industry will be reeling from the global health crisis for years. \u201cThe truth is, players aren\u2019t going to get every video game we \u2014 we, as in every developer \u2014 want to put out this year,\u201d the dev remarked. \u201cThat sucks, but it\u2019s the truth. We don\u2019t want to put out a mess, we want to put out the best games we can, and we\u2019re moving at three-quarters speed on average days and way less on bad days.\u201d Idle Sloth, another insider, has backed up that Khan was speaking to a Bethesda employee. In particular, in regards to players not playing every game they want to put out this year, he says was a direct reference to Starfield. Starfield is set to be a massive RPG. It was first announced way back at E3 2018 and was set to be the company\u2019s first new IP in 25 years. It\u2019s not clear yet when or if Bethesda will announce a Starfield delay, especially as the game does not yet have a release yet, but some were anticipating a hopeful 2021 release. That, however, seems unlikely given these recent developments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
