Starfield and Redfall delayed to first half of 2023

Me personally it’s more frustration since last exclusive was halo infinite, and starfield was most anticipated. However Twitter reaction is much different than here and it’s pretty toxic. I agree that we don’t know if this results in less crunch

Sadly the gaming community is 100% toxic, enjoy your console, play all the great games coming out and you just kind of gotta detach yourself from the active gaming community cause for the most part it ends up being a meta game not worth playing cause you always lose.

Between COVID, Cyberpunk disasters, trying to avoid crunch and gamepass being kinder to game delays for a better long term product this delay will probably be a net positive. Who cares what mass amount of fanboy trolls think.

Their is no winning that war, it has no end game but to wear you down until you learn to ignore it.

I can kinda understand your point when it comes to Deathloop.

but I highly suspect AE4 on Xbox will be another Flight Simulator, Social Media Fans will play it for a day, take some videos and then drop it forever.

anyway, waiting a whole year for two games that aren’t even new, is not why most people subscribed to game pass. might call it PS Plus at that point.

on the positive side, I see this pressuring them not to increase the price of game pass or disable the discount tricks (like stacking gold).

lol there is no pressure for them to increase price of gamepas… as phil as said himself anyway.

I do wonder what transpired there though. They were sure of the date last year but then suddenly a delay?

[Staffy]

I don’t see every single tweet Xbox puts out but I just read that a month or two ago Xbox tweeted out 11-11-22? I guess shit can just change that quick huh.

Its almost like game development is volatile and in a year things pop up that cause delays. Shocking I know.

Depends on who it is, these decisions get made at the very top. Doubt the team knew until shortly before the announcement.

[BlessedbyHorus]

What a bummer. Was gonna get a Series X for Starfield this year. Oh well…

[TheBrightestSun]

The most hilarious thing is that aside Starfield and Redfall, every other release for Xbox is a rumor

[DunwichCat]

@MDHX

it’s almost a year and a half since that now.

Blimey. Given that it’s pushed back to next year, and will most likely need an extra little delay after, you may well have used your 3 years Gamepass for nothing if you were waiting for Bethesda games

Right…I don’t disagree, just was a big oof from me.

Also, to have been a fly on the wall on Phil and co.’s trip to Bethesda they were posting about.

Dunno why, it was probably a clam and cool meeting.

I don’t want to get into hyperbole here, but what doe this mean to Avowed? and Fable?

suddenly Danny Panea and Parris recent talk, when one of them said Avowed is late 2023 and Fable is late 2024 seems realistic!

what does it mean to Everwild? and Perfect Dark?

it feels like Xbox is going to end up with a big AAA game every holiday instead of every quarter, which is disappointing with the number of studios they have.

ever wild and perfect dark don’t even have release dates. so not sure why you would expect them next year.

I mean who knows? They might release during the holiday season. I don’t think the delays of Redfall and Starfield are any indication toward that though.

@Resist

BTW, Fable and Avowed don’t have a release date either. and no I didn’t expect Perfect Dark and Everwild next year but I expected at maximum all those four titles would have been released by the first half of 2025…

remember all of those titles were announced back in 2020! and 3 of them were part of the XSX showcase event as games to buy the Series X for!

[Resist]

@MDHX

emember all of those titles were announced back in 2020!

nothing new for the game industry. having a bunch of dev studios under your wing (relatively recently at that) doesn’t make the dev cycle shorter.

It doesn’t mean anything to any of these games because their development is completely independent and every person and team has been impacted by the pandemic in different ways.

[TheBrightestSun]

It shows how unsustainable AAA gaming is and that Microsoft should grow their first party more. More moneyhats, more studios and more deals.

If Starfield is going to be mid-late 2023, then Avowed being pushed back to 2024 won’t hurt.
