UPDATE: Starfield Scheduled for Late 2021 Launch, Barring COVID-Related delays (Pre E3 Compendium)

[Leasy]

Journalist Jeff Grubb says Bethesda plans to show off the game at E3, and then launch it a few months later.

GamesBeat journalist Jeff Grubb recently said during a Dealer Gaming stream that the plan for Bethesda is to follow a marketing and launch cycle for Starfield similar to that of Fallout 4. According to Grubb, there’s a 90% likelihood that the game’s going to be unveiled in full at E3, and then will launch later in the year itself. He says that that’s what Bethesda has planned right now, barring any COVID-related delays and hurdles, of course.

Other insiders have also recently suggested that launching Starfield in late 2021 is part of Bethesda’s plan, with COVID being the only potential complication.

Most anticipated game with no details. The only thing known is that it is an open space world faring game.

Also, is it fair to say that if this launches this year it’s def a cross-gen release?

Since it was unveiled that a contract agreement with Sony was already in place I too can’t wait to explore space and get hyped over a game with no information

In a recent interview with GameIndustry.biz (via Reddit) during the Brighton Digital Conference, Howard teased a few more details about the new IP. For those concerned, the Bethesda exec confirmed that there will be no multiplayer aspects to this singleplayer adventure. He also revealed that this, like The Elder Scrolls VI, will focus on procedural generation as well to help create life within the game's settings, and that the universe of Starfield will be so much larger than Fallout 76. That's no small feat, given that Fallout 76 is four times the size of Skyrim.

While there will be randomly generated in-game content, Howard did clarify that this doesn't mean the in-game world itself will be randomized. It will be a blanket experience for all with minor differences. What those differences actually are remains to be seen.
