It is not the first time The title has been delayed, internally or externally. Earlier this year, both Redfall and Starfield were delayed to the first half of 2023. Redfall was originally set to launch sometime in the summer of 2022, and Starfield was expected to launch on November 11th, 2022.

This is also bad news for aspirant Starfield players. It was in Bethesda’s and Microsoft’s schedule to release Starfield sometime after Redfall.

With a possible May release for Redfall, do not expect Starfield to release until the fall of 2023. Unless Bethesda and Microsoft plan to double-dip releases back to back and have Starfield launch sometime in the summer.

While it can be frustrating to wait for a game for so long only for it to be delayed, these delays are for the better. As the quote goes “A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad.” A delay for Redfall means the team has more time to polish any rough edges and ensure that a launch will be stable.

We should learn more about Bethesda and Microsoft’s release plans sometime early in 2023. We could see release dates for upcoming 2023 titles such as Starfield and of course Redfall.
