Ross was unlikely to know anything about Starfield or its projected release date back in December when Bethesda wasn't even part of Xbox officially. Back then Halo was the only big IP Microsoft had releasing in 2021, so Ross was likely assuming it might release in November due to the anniversary. But with all due respect to Halo, a single-player game by BGS has the potential to be bigger and take the November spot that's usually reserved for the biggest games. Just logically, releasing Halo before CoD makes more sense even without taking Starfield into account.
It's as if people forgot about how Fallout 4 was announced.
glad to see the mod post, hopefully it stops this and all future threads for bethesda games from being derailed.
I hope it's more morrowind than Skyrim or Fallout and
DEEEEAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDDDD AT THE OFFICIAL STAFF COMMUNICATION.

Ah ok thanks I didn't know that about Psychonauts, I guess there is no precedent then. It's gonna be a hell of a holiday season for MS if this releases on schedule.
I know they did it with Fallout 4, but that was an established IP. Just seems odd to launch with such a small amount of marketing time with a new IP. Maybe it doesn't matter as much since it will be used to push Gamepass more than unit sales.
Yes, Todd Howard and team have settled on The Elder Scrolls 6's region
When Todd Howard announced The Elder Scrolls 6 at the end of Bethesda's E3 show, the message was clear: we're working o…

For a completely new IP?
I get a short build up for a sequel to a long running franchise, but a completely new game that's never been seen? An early access title that pulls in the hardcore would be understandable.
Unless this game's been used in the pitch by Zenimax during the sale I don't see a full new ip being created and ready to ship this year that hadn't been publicly promoted in some way by Zenimax.
Marketing has changed, a lot. Don't need a lot of lead time anymore. I think some people still aren't used to it but news and social media moves even faster now thanks to platforms like Twitter. 6 months is actually considered a lot of time now. 3 months works even better because it keeps it constant and fresh in people's minds.
Man, I hope this is the case.
Having Starfield, Halo Infinite, and possibly Forza Horizon 5 release in such close proximity gives me goose bumps.

I mentioned to my wife the other day that I'm interested in an Xbox. This months-ahead ice breaker is what allowed me to get a 4K set, a PS4 Pro, and a PS5.
Series X here I come.

Starfield = Elder Scrolls 6
You get stranded in a backwoods
Give me a giant spaceship/dreadnaught.
Todd Howard said in an interview that he would reveal Starfield one week before release if he could (he said Fallout 4 was the maximum that marketing allowed him to do).
"OFFICIAL STAFF COMMUNICATION
Unless announced differently by Microsoft moving forward all Bethesda games should be expected to be Xbox/PC exclusive. Any attempts to argue this and derail a thread will be actioned as port begging moving forward. 2021-03-17 1100 EST/1500 GMT".
End of an era. Can't wait to see how good this game is.

Fair. Don't get me wrong, I hope it is a this year game. Also, just interested to see what Starfield is, I think it is going to be structurally very different from Elder Scrolls or Fallout. Hopefully it launches on PC concurrently to XBOX.
A Singleplayer first Person RPG in the beloved engine that got massively overhauled. It's basically TES/Fallout in space for what we can tell.
Bugs in Bethesda games are a feature indeed.
Thanks mods. 💯👍✅👌🦦
No reason to suspect it won't. Microsoft hasn't released a console exclusive -- temporary or otherwise -- since Halo 5 more than half a decade ago.
Add to that the rumored FH5 (FH4 had 24+ million players) and GP subs will skyrocket. 🚀
This is why Im finding it hard to care unless I know more. They have made the same RPG ( and I dont say that negatively, they just have a very defined DNA) in different settings for over 20 years. I cant believe this will just be ES/FO with a space skin.
Didn't we already know this from the pictures that leaked. Didn't the leaker say they were targeting releasing the game this year?
Sticking with my original prediction.
Starfield - October 26th
Halo Infinite - November 15th
Throw in Wolfenstein in August and Forza in September and you have a pretty damn good holiday lineup.

Hoping it has a good amount of sci-fi was thinking it would be cool if this could possibly sub-in for a Mandalorian type game.
November already ??? It's too soon, they've shown so little (virtually nothing) I thought this game was still years away
If it is "fallout / elder scrolls " in space as I think it would be i believe it will have third person / first person modes like those games. Not to have that option would be weird.
Excellent, thank you!
If this is true, it's going to be a hell of a fall/winter break... And the the year of the space opera with ME, Halo, and Starfield .. whew.
I think there will be some differences like there are differences between TES and Fallout. I could be wrong obviously, but I feel the main formula that works so great for them like exploration, picking up everything, ... will stay.
Yes she/he did.
I don't think there is any information
Currently my two most anticipated games right now. If they both hit this year (along with the other games coming this year), it could make 2021 one of the best years in gaming for my tastes.
That's kind of what the case was with Fallout 4, too, wasn't it?
I imagine it'll have 3rd person and 1st person view, like all Bethesda games.
Lol, if Wolfenstein is in August and forza is in September, that's 4 big AAA exclusives back to back each month. Has anyone done something like that ever?
honestly? it might have very well been Bethesda's MO for the last couple years, I've been a bit out of the loop. But I'm excited, very excited that we have a good chance of getting to play this game so soon!
pretty damn good would be a understatement, even if we ignore Wolfenstein. I can't think of any particular year Xbox had a better lineup than the potential lineup you listed.
I don't think there is any information unfortunately.
This should help. I honestly think part of the $7.5 billion was to cover any development costs that were already sunk into PS5 development, which Bethesda probably would've been adamant about.
After Fallout 4 I'd settle for just more Skyrim.
Also why is the podcast banned? Did Jeff Grubb go on Joe Rogan's show to announce this?
Zero confirmation. I expect it to be cross-gen since it's in development for 5 years. However, anything can change as they've announced no consoles.
Don't expect any major announcements there. This event is more about services than games. Even though reporters and insiders said there could be some games (smaller ones).
