starfield On November 11, 11 years after his release Skyrim. This was not the case. it and Redfallhas been delayed until the first half of 2023. We don’t have any exact dates, but Xbox President Phil Spencer said it’s “right decision” To postpone the Bethesda duo.

The delay happened in May, so it was definitely not a last minute decision. says Spencer the edge This, however, was not one light resolution. Since Microsoft has experience shipping games so early, it’s still right to hold off on releasing games during the hot fall gaming season.

By the way, Spencer distances himself from the word “decision”, as it is rather about something natural.

I think positioning it as a resolution might be a little wrong, at least for me. It’s not really a decision to move a game after expending team efforts over many years only to get to a point where you know you’re not going to deliver the game you want on the date that was promised.

With games being the first really big games after the Zenimax and Bethesda deals, Microsoft also wants to make sure teams get the space they need to deliver the games they want. Spencer wanted to give Bethesda and Arcane the opportunity to feel the benefits of belonging to a larger organization.
