Bethesda exclusives for Microsoft suffer the heavy weight of expectations

Los delays are something inherent to the video game industry. Many will blame, in a certain way, the stormy premiere of Cyberpunk 2077the big bet of CD Projekt RED after The Witcher 3but it is true that the situation of the pandemic in 2020 has made the calendar of developments has been disrupted.

Halo Infinite or Battlefield 2042 suffered from these problems last year and still managed to reach the market in the expected date —in the case of Halo one year after your delay—, and everything seemed to indicate that Starfield, Bethesda’s huge bet for November of this year, would break the market in favor of Microsoft. One reality that we will not see, at least until several months later, is that the American company has announced the delay from Starfield y Redfall.

It has been Bethesda itself that has sadly shared the change in calendar for this year. Although the development of Redfall It was directed by Arkane Austin, developers of Deathloop, Bethesda acts as its producer and distributor. Thus, both titles are delayed because of the huge ambitiontime and team health.

With this delay Bethesda loses the nice tribute with the date 11/11/22 to Skyrim fans


The statement does not go into any of the possible development problems of both games, but it is to be expected that, especially in the case of Bethesda, the gigantic proposal space which supposes Starfield has been a hard nut to crack for the study. In fact, last April the middle Game Rant echoed some statements by a worker from Bethesda itself who described the Creation Engine 2 —graphics engine that will support this space epic— as a “trash“. These statements have not been confirmed o denied by other members of the development studio and the work of the user who leaked these details within Bethesda is also unknown.



Thus, both Starfield and Redfall will finally be launched on the market during the first half of 2023, although Arkane’s vampire bet did not have a date. Both developments were anticipated as great exclusives of the Microsoft ecosystem for this year and would be part of the first Xbox and PC exclusives after the purchase agreement of Bethesda last 2020.
