Rumor: Starfield Targeting Q1 2022 Launch

Rumor: Starfield Targeting Q1 2022 Launch - News

by William D'Angelo , posted on 17 May 2021 / 1,487 Views

Bethesda Softworks' Starfield was announced at E3 2018 and after nearly three years we have not heard much about the game. There has been a lot of speculation on the game in recent months on when it will launch and whether or not it will be an Xbox console exclusive now that Bethesda is a first-party Xbox studio.

Blessing Adeoye Jr. in the newest episode of Kinda Funny Gamescast speculated Starfield will launch in Q1 2022, which runs from January to March. VentureBeat's Jeff Grubb via Twitter said Adeoye Jr. is right about the Starfield release date. 

With all the Starfield rumors in recent months, hopefully, we will see the game at E3 2021 next month to answer some of our questions.

I know that a generation of consoles is a marathon and not a sprint, and that a "early advantage" does not necessarily reflect the winner of the generation, but... damn MS, put things together and start running, 1 year and Halo is the only certainty! I mean, sure there are some rumors of "Forza Horizon: Mexico" for 2021, but no certainty!
Launching only Halo in 1 years of Series X/S would be kinda sad and a disappointment if true.

So hold up. This giant game, that's been hyped for years is out in 12 months. But we are yet to see ANY official footage yet? Anyone remember Fallout 76?

The release date window is essentially ASAP. Probably same situation with GOW, hoping for Q4 2021 but probably slipping in 1st half of 2022.

Halo Infinite will dominate the holiday I'd imagine. Q1 is often slow for companies, maybe MS is attempting to even out the quarters so there aren't as many spikes/collapses.
