Of course, if we donвЂ™t see some Starfield gameplay soonвЂ¦well, maybe itвЂ™s time to start worrying a little more about what kind of shape the game is really in.

BethesdaвЂ™s Todd Howard says the Starfield team is actually putting the finishing touches on the game despite the delay, and a few leakers have indicated that Starfield gameplay will still be shown during the Xbox and Bethesda Showcase. However, some of the more recent statements regarding StarfieldвЂ™s progress suggest that itвЂ™s not all doom and gloom. ItвЂ™s even been said that the project is still in pretty rough shape at the moment. For quite some time now, weвЂ™ve heard reports that suggested the gameвЂ™s development was not going as smoothly as anticipated. StarfieldвЂs recent delay was certainly disappointing, though not entirely unexpected. Actually, it sounds like Fable may be in the process of a rework that could delay the game further (though some close to the project claim that itвЂ™s still in the normal stages of the development process). Recent reports regarding both games suggest that neither is anywhere close to being ready for a closer look. While undoubtedly unfortunate, that information sadly makes a lot of sense. Industry inside Jeff Grubb recently stated that he believes Fable and Perfect Dark will not be featuring during the Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase.

This summer has proven that nobody really knows whatвЂ™s going on with some of the industryвЂ™s biggest upcoming games, but since youвЂ™re all already here and have waited so patiently for me to get to the point, here are some of our predictions for what might be announced at Xbox and BethesdaвЂ™s Game Showcase based on the biggest rumors and leaks weвЂ™ve heard so far. Many are hoping that this is the year the Xbox team finally sheds some light on when some of the biggest upcoming Xbox exclusives might finally be released. Of course, anyone who has been following XboxвЂ™s production schedule over the last few years knows that they have quite a few other projects in their first-party pipeline that havenвЂ™t been properly showcased for quite some time. Indeed, it might be the only digital event of the year so far that will be on par with what its presenters would have brought to E3.ДЄctually, a big part of the reason why Microsoft purchased ZeniMax Media (BethesdaвЂ™s parent company) was to bolster XboxвЂ™s lineup of exclusives and timed exclusives with the kinds of Bethesda-lead projects that typically steal the show at major events like E3. While some recent video game reveal shows have reminded us that a lot of big upcoming games still wonвЂ™t be released for quite some time, Xbox and BethesdaвЂ™s 2022 Games Showcase figures to be the biggest digital event of the year so far.
