Recently, Howard took part in a Develop:Brighton Conference . During a conversation with James Batchelor of GamesIndustry.biz, Howard revealed that while Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6 are still a ways off, they'll be available on Xbox Game Pass on the first day of their respective releases. This confirms speculation on how Bethesda would handle its future releases . Howard also dropped a few more tidbits about the two anticipated titles, including that Starfield will eschew multiplayer in favor of a singleplayer format and will be in a universe even bigger than Fallout

Even though Bethesda Game Studios now has four offices scattered around the world, with a new location recently announced to be in Dallas , Hines also made clear that just because the development team has more staff than ever before doesn't mean development will go by that much more quickly.

During Bethesda ’s livestream for Gamescom, the company’s PR vice president Pete Hines dropped a few statements regarding Starfield while talking to German community managers. According to his words, the development team is still not in the position to talk about the game - nor Https://Starfieldgalaxy.Com it is prepared to show anything Starfield -related. It probably requires a few more years of work to live up to the expectations, but Hines is already quite confident that the reveal - when it finally happens - will be an impressive one making the gaming community believe that the wait was totally worth it.

But while there’s seemingly no end to the wait, Bethesda is trying to assure players that Starfield is worth

This statement seems contradictory, given the nature of gaming console hardware. Neither Sony nor Microsoft has made firm statements regarding when the public can expect them to release the next generation of consoles, though one report suggests the next PlayStation system is at least three years away .

Microsoft announced back in September it had purchased ZeniMax Media , which owns Bethesda and id Software, among other companies, for $7.5 billion. This dealt a massive blow to Sony in the console war leading up to the next-gen release this month.
