At this time,Bethesdahas got a whole slew of exciting future releases that fans of the studio and its franchises would be thrilled to learn more about. At the very top of this list is assuredlyStarfielditself, but Arkane Studios' ownRedfieldfollows close by, to say nothing of the publisher’s numerous other development studios that are yet to reveal their projects in full.While one would expectBethesdato pull out its big guns for the annual QuakeCon festivities, the publisher has just revealed the official schedule for this year’sQuake-themed gaming convention, and it seems to be rather subdued. Namely, some of its most important titles are outright missing, with less prominent events getting featured instead.RELATED:Xbox Roundhouse Studios Working on Unannounced Project, Assisting With Redfall DevelopmentBethesda’s plans for 2022were nothing short of incredible at the beginning of the year, even if only due to the fact thatStarfieldwas supposed to come out. The studio’s flagship RPG was, however, subsequently pushed back, and the vampire-slaying immersive simRedfallsuffered a similar fate. This left Bethesda in a precarious position, though it was still expected that QuakeCon 2022 would feature both of these titles in some capacity.Starfield, however, is entirely absent now that the schedule’s been shown off, andRedfalldoesn’t have a major showcase planned either.
A standout production for the team behindDishonoredandDeathloop,Arkane Studios' curious FPSRedfallis only getting a 30-minute presentation at the very start of QuakeCon 2022 by the looks of it. Instead of discussing these two major future releases, Bethesda is seemingly using this year’s QuakeCon to host showcases for existing games' future content.Fallout 76andElder Scrolls Onlineseem to be the big featurettes this time around.
Of course, the community has got plenty ofburning questions about Bethesda’sStarfieldat this time. While much is already known about the game, it’s still an effectively unprecedented release in modern times, as Bethesda had previously focused primarily onFalloutandTheElder Scrollsto drive its core studio’s production plans. In comparison,Starfieldis entirely new, and the fan base would be thrilled to learn more about how its gameplay systems might mesh in practice.
Whatever the case may be, it seems unlikely that QuakeCon 2022 will provide any industry-shattering reveals about eitherStarfieldorRedfall. Still, fans of Bethesda can look forward to a bunch of content relating to its previous releases, such asGhostwire Tokyo, and it goes without saying that it’sway too early forFallout 5to get any meaningful time in the spotlight anyway.
