Poll: What Are Your Release Date Predictions For Starfield & Redfall?

Redfall Feb and Starfield May based on zero experience and zero insider knowledge

Starfield will be first around April/May and I think Redfall will be around June just after their E3 showcase

Starfield 11-12-23 (it adds up so it's still clever)

Redfall September 2024

Redfall in October 2024 and Starfield in 2023 November. Its not going to be first half of 2023.

When is Easter? I'm sure they'll be aiming to get one out by then.

I'll answer my own question without even editing - 9th April.

I know a lot of ppl will disagree with this bit, I hope they do a shadow drop on next year's showcase for either game

They've probably both been given 6 months extra time.
So Redfall in Feb and Starfield in April/May.

@SplooshDmg well Bethesda usually shows the first gameplay a few months before release which I think is usually fine. Redfall is more concerning though since we seen nothing about that yet. Of course we will get something on the June showcase and based on that we can predict better I guess

I think Redfall will be March and Starfield will be June or 2nd half of 2023. From what we know about Redfall so far, it sounds like a live service game so it wouldn't be wise to launch it close to a Halo Infinite season. Unless the 6 month seasons continue after season 2, the seasons will be in early February, early May, early August and early November hence why I'm predicting March for Redfall.

As for Starfield, it feels like the kind of release that'll get 1 final pre-launch promotion push at Summer Game Fest and/or E3 2023. Also that way Starfield would avoid being buried by BotW 2 (I think BotW 2 will be March 2023 coinciding with new hardware around Switch's 6th anniversary).

@SplooshDmg there was a ex Bethesda developer, he worked on Starfield and actually talked about the game. He said the new engine they were using for the game was terrible. The graphics weren't great, the flying mechanism was horrible and shooting wasn't fun. I think the game has been overhyped by Bethesda and the community and only now do they realise that it's not good as promised hence the sudden delay. Also there's no way its coming out in the first half of 2023. I think it'll release at the end of next year.

If you remember a few days back there was a image shared by Xbox on social media where Phil Spencer went to the studio to see the demos. I think something happened during that visit. I this visit is the key, the other xbox executives probably looked at the game and thought something bad.

Lol it’s funny to see that most of us aren’t buying the “first half of 2023” for neither of those games, honestly I expect Redfall for September 2023 and Starfield on November, and I think I’m being optimistic.

No idea because until we actually see some game-play from both, some indication as to how far off they are, its very difficult to predict how much work they may need. For example, Starfield may well of been on track to launch in November but perhaps would be 'tight' and potentially risk being rushed in the last couple of months resulting in 'issues'. Therefore, remove that 'pressure' to 'crunch' leading to potential mistakes and of course additional stress and dissatisfaction amongst the staff. Therefore, it could release a Couple of months later.

Alternatively, it could be more like Fallout 76 was at launch and whilst that may of been 'good enough' for Zenimax Media to release, its not good enough and they want to spend 'months' on making sure they don't repeat that mistake again...

Same goes with Redfall too - but I don't really care exactly WHEN they release, I'm happy to know they will be coming in the future - something to 'look forward to', happier knowing that MS is willing to delay to ensure they are 'ready' to release when they do and have plenty of games coming in between to enjoy regardless. Yes its 'mildly' disappointing that the 'wait' is now a bit longer, but that was instantly overcome by knowing that the game is not being rushed out to meet that deadline when it clearly needed more time!!

Starfield May 25th & Redfall July 8th

If I had to choose the one I'm more confident in coming true it's the Starfield release date.

Starfield : August

Redfall : May 26th or June 26th.

or they release starfield the day after e3 2023 😆

I expect starfield nov 23. Redfall summer. Let’s pray Xbox has some releases in between!

When they're done.

@Sakai Don’t sell yourself short. You have as much knowledge as most of these so called insiders.

Mid December. Coop won't be added until the following October. Fox ears will be $100 day 1.

I'm still expecting Redfall to be canceled.

Starfield is anyone's guess I'm expecting holiday next year though.

@SplooshDmg If it's a real Toddy Award winning game, the remaster/anniversary will include all the original bugs again, anyway

What we do know for sure is that there will be at least a dozen races and over 200 NPCs. Both voice actors confirmed this.

Maybe the release dates don't matter as much for them financially if they are day one gamepass games. If millions of people are expected to play them through gamepass then the profits would be completely different. Also Starfield is probably going to give gamepass a big boost. It's like how Nintendo treat Zelda, I buy Nintendo consoles just for Zelda. Zelda creates the reason for the Nintendo consoles to even exist.

If smart will announce date no sooner than 6 months after guaranteed to go gold.

Unscientifically, I would guess that Starfield needs another 6 months, so I'd say may. Assumably, Redfall is almost certainly finished and in need of polish, so I'd think January or so. They'll want to give it it's own time window AWAY from Starfields release. But who knows?

They will totally push starfield to holiday 2023. That’s a system seller.

Starfield will be a launch title for the next generation (or maybe the generation after that!).

Redfall will take a stake to the heart and be cancelled...

dont release in march as march it will get packed as everyone else crams there games in to the end of the financial year.

wait till may as its usually pretty clear release schedule

@MiGke that wasn't my first comment though, that was my second comment which was aimed at the people moaning and bashing sony in which some of them were obviously xbox trolls.

As an Xbox fan (the only console I've got is an XSS), all I can say about those release dates is: Redfall - who knows; Starfield- before 2025 (maybe).
Yup, I am THAT disappointed. I hope they deliver us quality content on the June event thing. But if not, well... (man I hate feeling bitter about my platform of choice!)
