Hopefully the game won’t be too repetitive in terms of everything secondary, and the lore will be interesting, as will the writing. The content should be monstrous, the map infinitely bigger than Skyrim and co., even if the planets won’t be the size of No Man’s Sky’s (if they’re not empty: we don’t care…). But the gameplay on land should not normally be neglected. Space flight is featured, planetary as well (skimming), with combat planned as well. So if it’s to face a bad game experience and have to wait 6 months… no need!Ībout the game itself: an open world RPG that focuses on planet exploration. Bethesda games are often released buggy, unfinished, and several months late in development. Yet the game has been delayed until the fall. Bethesda is under pressure from Microsoft though, which has a hole in its schedule and struggles to keep up with Sony’s releases (although gamers are also quite dissatisfied with Sony’s exclusives too). I've reached out to Bethesda and Steam to ask about the changes, and will update if I receive a reply.Starfield is coming in 2023, finally (well, it’s not 100% sure yet…). Whatever the case may be here, other games have previously made similar changes, presumably to accommodate Steam's new release date policy: Nightingale, for instance, switched its listed launch target from "Coming in first half 2023-Add to your wishlist!" to "Coming soon" on December 8. Like I said, it's a stretch, but Steam's isn't the only product page that developers have to manage for their games. It's possible that Bethesda blew past the deadline without doing anything, and then Valve didn't actually take action to set the dates to "coming soon" because it wasn't really paying attention either. There is one other theory, although it's a bit of a stretch: Valve warned in the October 2022 update that games with release dates that don't fit the new standards will be automatically set to "coming soon" at 12 am PT on January 1. It's reasonable to think that Bethesda would not want that, but it also wouldn't want to publish a date publicly too early-thus, the no-date option. The current expectation is that Starfield will be out sometime in the first half of the year, but since the date on Steam was listed as 2023, it would be treated as though the launch date was December 31.
