If the rumors about theRedfallrelease date being delayed are true, it could be bad news forStarfieldfans.Redfallis a new co-op shooter game in development at Arkane where four players can team up to fight off vampires and their human allies. Unfortunately for those looking forward to the game,Redfallhas been delayed from its original 2022 release window, and it has now been pegged with a vague 2023 release date.According to the latest official information, theRedfallrelease date will be some time in the first half of 2023, where it will debut as a day one Xbox Game Pass game and an Xbox Series X console exclusive. A specific release date has not been announced, but a reliable leaker has said thatRedfallhas been internally delayedby six weeks and will likely release in May 2023. This has not been confirmed, but if true, it should give fans a better idea of when they expect Bethesda’s open world sci-fi RPGStarfieldas well.RELATED:Datamine Suggests Redfall Might Be Getting a BetaMicrosoft’s Matt Booty has previously said thatStarfieldwill release afterRedfall. This means if theRedfallrelease date delay rumors are true and the game isn’t coming out until May 2023, fans shouldn’t expectStarfielduntil some time after that. However, the question remains exactly how long after that will fans have to wait to playStarfield.
When is the Starfield Release Date?
TheStarfieldrelease datehas not been nailed down, but it too is expected to launch at some point in the first half of 2023, barring any future delays. IfStarfielddoes release within that window as expected, then it would have to be out by the end of June. And if Microsoft still plans on releasingRedfallbeforeStarfield, that means that the most likely release month forStarfieldwould indeed be June.
That being said, it’s possible thatStarfieldcould be delayed again. There have been some reports indicating the game’s development has had some problems, to the point where some developers are reportedly worriedit will be the nextCyberpunk 2077. If those reports are accurate, it may be best forStarfieldto get pushed back again so that the game can live up to the high expectations that people have for Bethesda Games Studios titles.
Ultimately, fans should keep in mind that theRedfallrelease date delay rumor may not even be totally accurate, and they should always wait for official information. As it stands, neitherRedfallnorStarfieldhave official release dates, but if both games are truly coming in the first half of 2023 as previously announced, then more information on that front should come to light sooner rather than later. Perhaps such announcements could be made at therumored Xbox Games Showcase, though that too has yet to get an official confirmation at the time of this writing.
