Yesterday, <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/StarfieldGame\/status\/1897709518013997493\" target=\"_blank\">Bethesda finally relented, tweeting<\/a> &#8220;We know you&#8217;re eager for an update, and we truly appreciate your passion for Starfield&#8221; in response to a fan pleading for more communication from the company.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The team has been hard at work,&#8221; continued Bethesda, &#8220;and while we&#8217;re not ready to share specific details just yet, we have a lot of exciting things planned for the game this year that we can&#8217;t wait to talk about when the time is right.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Which I guess assuaged anyone who worried that maybe Bethesda had decided it couldn&#8217;t be bothered to keep going with the game it worked on for the best part of a decade, but it didn&#8217;t do much for anybody else. &#8220;&#8216;This year&#8217; can mean tomorrow. It can mean 9 MONTHS away. Damn,&#8221; wrote <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Starfield\/comments\/1j51s8n\/comment\/mgdajzy\/\" target=\"_blank\">a dejected starperson<\/a> in the game&#8217;s subreddit. &#8220;It can also mean &#8216;we fixed these bugs&#8217; or &#8216;we made Trackers Alliance 2!&#8217; and not what people actually want like &#8216;we buffed shipbuilder and now there are M-class ships,&#8221; agreed <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Starfield\/comments\/1j51s8n\/comment\/mgddrx1\/\" target=\"_blank\">another<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They are deliberately choosing not to communicate more,&#8221; writes a user named ElegantEchoes. But frankly, I don&#8217;t know if that&#8217;s really fair. Some players share my own stance\u2014the recognition that Bethesda is between a rock and a hard place on this one. On the one hand, saying too much will invariably have some players work themselves up into a hype frenzy, only to crash into reality when whatever patch or DLC the studio has cooking actually releases.<\/p>\n<p>On the other, saying <em>nothing<\/em> risks the game&#8217;s community\u2014already a fairly tenuous thing given Starfield&#8217;s rocky reception\u2014losing interest entirely, or deciding the game has been abandoned (which, just to reiterate, would be absolutely loco).<\/p>\n<p>And so Bethesda has ended up in the middle position of saying &#8216;Yes, we still exist, but that&#8217;s all we&#8217;re telling you.&#8217; Which just kind of, well, annoys everyone. I&#8217;m not a Starfield fan, but I don&#8217;t envy the devs. Here&#8217;s hoping they&#8217;ll have more to announce than their existence in short order.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"7a2cb281-cbf7-491f-8044-ad32412d9669\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:400px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"Vji3V6i3HDWUHeQ22PrjFL\" name=\"New Project (8).jpg\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/starfield-promises-it-still-exists-as-silence-drives-fans-to-space-madness-but-it-mostly-just-annoys-everyone-they-are-deliberately-choosing-not-to-communicate-more.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-games-2025-upcoming-pc-release-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"7a2cb281-cbf7-491f-8044-ad32412d9669\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2025 games<\/strong><\/a>: This year&#8217;s upcoming releases<strong><br \/><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/rpg\/starfield-promises-it-still-exists-as-silence-drives-fans-to-space-madness-but-mostly-just-annoys-everyone-they-are-deliberately-choosing-not-to-communicate-more\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s odd to think about now, but there was a time when Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3\u2014Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3\u2014pushed its release date forward by a whole month in order to avoid clashing with Starfield, the game once feted to be the obvious blockbuster release of 2023.
