The tweet showed a theme of "Be together" as it gathered various mythical creatures and monster's from the company's back cata

180px-Win3mdkv99readme.pngWith Doom Eternal showing off some impressive gameplay at QuakeCon, fans already know that it will be Hell on Earth in the sequel.

Despite the increased amount of Starfield -related leaks, the game continues to remain a mystery.

It could be an excellent opportunity to reveal some enticing information about Bethesda’s future and its upcoming projects - including, of course, Starfield . The event is yet to be officially confirmed as it is just another insider statement at the mom

It would’ve been an unprecedented event in the gaming industry if a huge publisher would’ve said that its upcoming title wasn’t worth the wait. In other words, Bethesda’s statement consists of what players want to hear about Starfield , but it delivers zero new information about the game. The reveal, however, should be huge when it finally happens.

When exactly it is going to happen, though, is a complete myst

Starfield could've turned out to be visually stunning, if only the latest leaked screenshot, claimed to be captured in Bethesda’s sci-fi RPG, hadn't been identified as a scene from an environmental game called Mýrdalssandur, Iceland . Despite that, Starfield is still rumored to be releasing this year, which implies there could be more leaks, both fake and genuine, coming in the near fut

Todd Howard attempted to answer some of these questions, in an interview with Eurogamer . When asked about what gamers could expect from Starfield , Howard was quick to emphasize Bethesda's devotion to developing unique, high-quality games, while avoiding direct comparisons to either The Elder Scrolls or Fallo

Considering last year's E3 showcase was so big for Bethesda, it will be interesting to see how/if the publisher can top it this year with newness, while addressing recent failings. As the tweet jokes, keep refreshing Walmart Canada to look for leaks — a subtle jibe at RAGE 2's release being spoiled ahead of time . Either way, Bethesda's all-star showcase could fill that large gap left by Sony skipping E3 20

As a final message to fans, Hines told them all to strap in and be patient over the next few years. "Take a deep breath; you're going to be OK. We're going to make some stuff you're really going to love," he s

Howard also said the finished game would have "a lot of new systems we've been thinking about for a while that fit that kind of game really well ." After once again confirming that Starfield will not be a multiplayer game , Howard went on to talk about the game's technical specificati

Another industry insider, Skullzi , who is known for gaming investigations and reports, has shared a leaked screenshot allegedly taken from an in-development build of Starfield . Although the screenshot had poor quality, it nonetheless represented a huge leap forward in terms of improved visuals compared to other Bethesda’s RPGs. Realistic lighting, reflections, shadows, and detailed environments implied that Starfield could be a true next-gen title. In the bottom-left corner, the picture included the same piece of HUD that was present on previously leaked Starfield screenshots, which added a bit of credibility. But as the story was rapidly developing, Skullzi had to take down the post on Twitter since some users claimed the leak was fake.
