Starfield Screenshot Leak May Be Accidentally Verified By Bethesda Dev

Bethesda has consistently made headlines over the last few months. The biggest shock came in September of last year when it was revealed that Microsoft had agreed to acquire ZeniMax Media in a deal worth $7.5 billion. This gave the Xbox parent company ownership not just of franchises such as Fallout , The Elder Scrolls , and DOOM but also of famous developers like Bethesda Game Studios and id Software. Now, it seems that Microsoft will also reap the benefits of Bethesda's foray into AAA licensed games, a future many could have not foreseen of the RPG stu


Bethesda has confirmed that it is fully focused on the development of both Starfield and The Elder Scrolls VI . Replying to fan concerns on Twitter about the fact that Todd Howard is involved with too many projects, Bethesda Senior VP of Marketing Pete Hines reassured them that those two titles are still his main priority. Howard, who has helped to lead both the Fallout and The Elder Scrolls series for more than a decade, also has roles in several other projects according to Hines. But both he and Bethesda as a whole are committed to finishing up work on the two high-profile games. The communications executive promised that recent announcements will not affect the development of either g


Bethesda’s 2018 E3 showing was one for the ages; Doom Eternal, Rage 2, Starfield , Fallout 76 , and The Elder Scrolls VI were all shown in some capacity, and, when it came to topping last year’s efforts, Bethesda certainly had their work cut out for them. Were we destined to get a look at the Maryland-based developer’s new, mysterious science fiction IP? No, of course


Posting on Twitter and sent to us via email, Bethesda teased what fans can expect at this year's E3. Admittedly, there isn't a lot to go on and the full showcase is just speculation for now. Although there's no location just yet, Bethesda's E3 showcase will take place on Sunday, June 9 in Los Angeles at 5:30 PM PT. The tweet showed a theme of "Be together" as it gathered various mythical creatures and monster's from the company's back cata


A supposed leak of Starfield screenshots may have just been verified by the unlikeliest of sources: a t-shirt worn by a Bethesda developer. The screenshots in question leaked in September, offering a brief glimpse at a possible player character, a spaceship design, and the HUD of Starfield . Bethesda has neither confirmed nor denied the validity of the leak to d


Hines continued by also talking about how even though Starfield and The Elder Scrolls VI have been officially announced, that doesn't mean they're even close to being ready. "I try really hard to manage people's expectations. It's not like ' Fallout 76 this year, Starfield next year, and then TES6 the year after.' The timeline isn't any different. What's different is just trying to be transparent and say, 'Don't freak out, the next thing we're doing is single-player [in Starfield Weapons|https://starfieldgalaxy.com/], [and] we are making TES


Even though there's still plenty to learn about Starfield and The Elder Scrolls VI , Bethesda has plenty of time to divulge that information. Hopefully, the coming months are years start to shed more light on each project and their potential arrival da


Howard elaborated that Bethesda is thinking very far into the future with Starfield , envisioning something that will run on next-generation hardware. But he doesn't count out the possibility that current systems will be able to run it in some f


"Would it have been better if it was some years from now and we just go, 'Surprise, we're making a game called Starfield , and it's out X months later?' Yeah. For sure," said Hines. "But at the same time, there is also value in every day between there people aren't freaking out about us making Fallout 76 as an online-only game as a service and this is all they're ever maki


Yet, some are speculating that Starfield ’s development could be further slowed by Bethesda’s refusal to move on from the dated Creation Engine. The system, which was used to develop The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim in 2011 and was based on the incredibly old Gamebryo engine, is really beginning to show its age, and it could very well be that even a heavily modified Creation Engine will struggle to support such an ambitious project. We know that Fallout 76 could hardly handle the demands of online play, let alone Todd Howard’s infamous "sixteen times the detail" lark, and it’s hard to imagine that something fantastically larger in scope and scale could possibly keep up on an outdated framew


Bethesda is reaching for the stars at this year's E3 event in Los Angeles, hinting that the acclaimed video game publisher will be showing off more about the upcoming release of Starfield and plenty of other tit


While there’s some speculation that Starfield will be released in 2021, there’s still no word from Bethesda on the matter. Either way, it’s likely that more concrete details about the game will start coming to light soon. With two years having passed since Starfield was unveiled and the next-gen platforms that it’ll launch on soon to be in players’ hands, the time is right for Bethesda to really start hyping its next games up, particularly if Microsoft wants to show off what to expect from its latest acquisiti
