'Starfield vs. God of War': A battle of delays - The 2022 release showdown

"Starfield's Release Date Still Hanging in the Balance - What We Know So Far"

The summer gaming season is upon us, and fans are holding their breath, anxiously awaiting the arrival of big names like Starfield and God of War Ragnarok. Yet, as we all know, the gaming industry's unpredictable nature leaves room for surprises, and the delay of a major title is always lurking just around the corner.

"Starfield has barely shown anything resembling the game itself," the May 2022 report from Forbes reveals, sending shivers down the spines of eager gamers. Slated for release on November 11, 2022, the industry is questioning whether Starfield will stay on track for its launch or fall into the abyss of delays that has claimed so many before it.

Bethesda's Commitment to the Date: A Bold Move?

"Bethesda made it clear they would not have announced the date were they not extremely committed to releasing the game then," reads Forbes' take on the matter. Is this a promise that can be kept or mere wishful thinking? The evidence, or lack thereof, sends mixed signals.

With only in-engine graphics and concept art released, there's no real proof of gameplay, leading some to believe that Starfield could follow in the footsteps of God of War Ragnarok's delay. However, an upcoming Xbox showcase featuring Bethesda could prove these doubters wrong, finally putting the speculation to rest.

The lingering question remains: Which is more likely to be delayed, Starfield or God of War? As both games battle against time and high expectations, the scales could tip either way.

While God of War has experienced a delay before, Starfield's new engine and IP may pose a bigger challenge. Bethesda's history of keeping cards close to their vest might be the careful crafting needed to launch this fall, or a risky gamble that could spell disappointment.

As we look to the upcoming Xbox showcase and Sony's equivalent, the clock ticks, and the gaming world awaits a verdict. Only time will reveal whether Starfield soars to meet its date or crashes into delay.
