We are over two years into a console generation and Microsoft just has Flight Simulator and Forza and Hi-Fi Rush as its prized releases, while Halo Infinite already misfired. Whatever they’re doing, it’s not working. But if Arkane dropped the ball this badly, who knows what might happen with Bethesda here, as nothing seems like a guarantee in the Microsoft era now.Īt a certain point, this all comes back to Microsoft. Since Starfield is a mainline game from Bethesda you would expect something at least as successful as Fallout 3-4 or an Elder Scrolls title. It’s a bigger deal than the return of Perfect Dark and Fable, I’d say. More than any release this generation so far, and I’d argue probably more than any announced release to come.
The upcoming release of Starfield, delayed a full year already, is now something of a terrifying prospect for Microsoft because there is so much pressure on it to deliver. Redfall arriving in this state from Arkane, of all places, speaks poorly of Microsoft’s management of its first party studios, and instead of beginning to turn around that narrative like it was supposed to, it’s done the opposite.
