![]() (As is Forza’s Microsoft and Turn 10 seem unwilling to recommit to a first-half-of-2023 window for their racing game.) Unless the Xbox folks have a surprise shadow drop, à la Tango Gameworks’ Hi-Fi Rush, planned for Starfield - which would seem ill-advised - the sci-fi RPG’s release is starting to feel slippery. June 20 - The Elder Scrolls Online: Necrom.The updates we got Wednesday from Xbox and Bethesda on Wednesday show that the first half of Microsoft’s 2023 game calendar now looks like this: Remember that, during the Xbox and Bethesda Showcase last June, Microsoft more or less wrote an IOU to fans, promising that Starfield would be among a large catalog of highly anticipated games launching in the first half of 2023 (and, as first-party games, available the same day to Xbox Game Pass subscribers). ![]() It doesn’t seem likely that Bethesda would want to cannibalize interest in those projects (or Starfield) by packing that game into a May or June release window. It’s still one hell of an elephant not in the room, especially if two of the four games shown - Redfall and The Elder Scrolls Online’s Necrom expansion - are big Bethesda projects launching in May and June, respectively. There’s going to be a stand-alone showcase for Starfield at some point. And to be fair to Microsoft and Bethesda Game Studios, they already told us we wouldn’t be hearing anything out of Todd Howard’s next epic role-playing game during Wednesday’s Developer Direct showcase.
