E3 is always swamped in rumour, but Bethesdas Starfield is potentially the most interesting one right now.

The elevator pitch is Elder Scrolls in space. That's a really long time, especially in an industry where three years is already considered an eternity. The game was first teased with a short reveal back in 2018. It was announced alongside the enigmatic "Elder Scrolls VI," though, unlike the latter, "Starfield" did have a tiny amount of info about it. For one, it was actually revealed earlier this year that SpaceX founder Elon Musk advised on the game. Given Musk's recent space exploration escapades, it's only right that Bethesda and Todd Howard pick the multi-billionaire's brain. And they actually did, in a live panel two years ago. Musk's involvement makes sense because "Starfield" is planned to be a "realistic" space RPG. Sadly, the Starfield release date has now been delayed.

What this means is that players can expect little to none of those common space travel tropes in sci-fi-no warp drives, no hyperspace, and no faster-than-light travel. Although we got a Novemback at E3 2021, but thats now been pushed back. On May 12, 2022, Bethesda confirmed the Starfield.

The game will rely heavily on portraying believable space propulsion and exploration tech, which made Musk the perfect high-profile adviser. The PlayStation 5 seems to be a lot more popular for this generation, and there's no denying that. Sony sold almost 8 million units of its console in merely half a year since its release. And a lot of gamers can point to the first-party exclusive games as the main reason. On the other hand, the Xbox Series X doesn't have much in terms of exclusives. The only (former) exclusive it had was "The Medium," which has already been reported as to also come to the PS5 later this year.
