Bethesda looks to keep its word

Anyone would agree: if any dev studio has the potential to pull off a game of this magnitude, it’s Bethesda Games. With titles like the Elder Scrolls and Wolfenstein, Bethesda usually makes sure to give the fans their money’s worth. For reasons perfectly understandable, the Xbox Showcase 2023 on June 11 2023 was like a gulp of fresh air for the community where Bethesda finally revealed more details about its landmark project.

At the convention, Bethesda dropped more information about Starfield Direct; seemingly the one-stop place for players to gain more knowledge about the upcoming game that is scheduled to be officially released in September of this year. Fans had been speculating heavily about what to expect in the Xbox Showcase, and they were not disappointed at all. Tons of new information about the gameplay, star systems and constellations were announced by Bethesda at the Showcase.

Starfield devs also gave away more than fans had bargained for at the Xbox Showcase with details about star cities and in-game weapons and starship customization options. The new gameplay reveal seems to have fans convinced about the magnitude and scope of the upcoming release. After months of being the most wishlisted game on Steam, the Showcase has promoted Starfield to become the highest-selling game on the platform, which only goes on to show the massive hype that surrounds Bethesda’s upcoming title.

Starfield is followed by Cyberpunk 2077 on the game sales list, and given the latter was released three years ago, one can comprehend the high industry optimism that hovers over Bethesda’s alleged prodigal son. Fans have already spoken their mind on social media, and here are some of the highlights.
