With Arkane Austin’s Redfall being critical dud, all eyes are now on Bethesda Game Studios’ Starfield to deliver the goods. As previously announced, a Starfield Direct will air on June 11th, following the Xbox Games Showcase at 10 AM PT. A new Xbox Wire post confirms that there will be “tons of new gameplay, developer interviews, and behind-the-scenes insider information.”
Also worth noting is that the Xbox Games Showcase Extended will return. It airs on June 13th at 10 AM PT and features interviews based on news from the main showcase. There will also be “game updates” from the studio’s partners.
As the studio’s first new IP in 25 years, Starfield is a space-faring FPS/RPG with over 1000 planets and 100 systems to explore. It will release on September 6th for Xbox Series X/S and PC and on day one for Game Pass.
Director Todd Howard said that the team is “playing the game all the time” and “poured ourselves” into it. He also promised “many of the hallmarks that you’d expect from us” while delivering a very “unique experience.” Stay tuned for more updates and details en route to June 11th.
