Starfield, Bethesda’s latest IP to release since The Elder Scrolls in 25 years is one of the most anticipated titles of the year for gamers. Still scheduled for November 11, Bethesda’s sci-fi RPG should reveal itself a little more over the next few months, but some leaks allow us to have a small idea of the game’s progress, such as the one that occurred last month. last week. Indeed, a former Bethesda employee spoke about Starfield via ResetEra, but these leaks are still to be taken with a grain of salt.

Wobbly flight gameplay, but no release postponement planned
This information was therefore disclosed by a certain Hevy008, former character creator developer, on ResetEra. Site administrators have verified his identity and Jason Schrier came back to confirm today the veracity of the course of this famous Hevy008. Nothing is less certain as to the accuracy of the information disclosed, which we advise you to take with a grain of salt, as always.
It was in response to a question from users that Hevy008 spoke about the qualities of Bethesda Game Studios as a place to work. He says the studio is “a cool, solid place to work” and Todd Howard, Bethesda’s historic designer, is “a charismatic guy.”
The former developer then speaks clearly about the gameplay, the game’s flight mechanics and the engine of this gameplay. Hevy008 describes the latter as a “pile of shit” and laments a lack of fun in piloting spaceships. These fairly raw and direct words are counterbalanced by the gunplay as well as the high quality graphics and lighting, without visually reaching the level of Horizon Forbidden West. Starfield would also be the subject of weekly playtests every Thursday since the beginning of the year.
The other central question is that of the release date and its maintenance. The question is legitimate when we see the growing number of postponements for a year for many games. Heavy008 says Bethesda should try to stick to November 11, 2022, a “sexy date” to use his words. The studio could even remove content when the game is released if necessary, because Heavy008 explains that Starfield offers too much content compared to its current progress.
According to him, Bethesda’s current objectives are to fix the game’s bugs, to optimize it as best as possible before its release and to make it more fun than it currently is, especially on the piloting gameplay. This information is plausible, but once again, we advise you not to take it at face value and to wait to see how the situation concretely evolves according to Bethesda’s announcements.
