Starfield was originally set for November 2022, as it was expected to be one of the biggest Xbox games of the year. He and Redfall are joining other high-profile exclusives like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 next year.
The initial delay announcement also says we’ll see a “first deep dive into the gameplay for both Redfall and Starfield soon,” which could indicate the Xbox/Bethesda Summer Showcase on June 12.
When it finally comes out, it will be the first major look fans get at either game. So far, no gameplay has been released for either, though Bethesda has provided a number of glimpses into Starfield – from the game’s bot companion to the variations in the game.
So far, no official dates have been set for Starfield or Redfall, but the current expected timeframe for both is the first half of 2023.
