Starfieldis Bethesda’s next big RPG. Unlike its previousElder ScrollsandFalloutfranchises,Starfieldlooks to give fans a new experience, with an original sci-fi setting. The game is expected to release in late 2022, however, even with a release date so relatively close, fans have so far only seen a few seconds of in-game footage. While many are expectingStarfieldto be shown off at the upcoming Xbox and Bethesda showcase, the lack of gameplay displayed by the upcoming title has some fans fearful.
Of course, there are the running suspicions that like some other titles set to be released in 2022,Starfieldcould be delayed. On the other hand, there are fears thatStarfieldcould release with a lot of bugs and glitches. 2022 has already seen a major release plagued by bugs, asDying Light 2players were facing some serious problemsat launch, including a glitch that instantly killed them. Given Bethesda’s history with buggy launches, it’s understandable that some fans are concerned.

DespiteSkyrimstill being enjoyed today, the game is known for its buggy nature.Skyrimplayers are even finding new glitches 11 years after its launch. However,Starfieldactor Stephen Ford has recently come out to calm some fans who believe Bethesda’s newest title will repeat the mistakes of previous games. Ford is known for his work onTeen Wolf, Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight, and aYouTube channel known asAscender.
Ford has been teasing his role inStarfieldfor a while, and the latest tease on Twitter showedStarfieldas the “Giga Chad” meme standing over the Game Awards. While a joke, some fans took the idea that Ford believedStarfieldwould be an impressive game very seriously, criticizing him and anyone else who believed the game would be good. “People are hyping up this game so much,” one fan said, with a following statement that they couldn’t wait for players to encounter all the bugs that were typical of a Bethesda title.
In response, Ford simply stated that he believed the game was “pretty awesome.” While the public are yet to see any extendedgameplay footage fromStarfield, it seems likely that Ford will have seen more than most, meaning his view is more informed. However, if he is as deeply involved with the game as his teases suggest, it is also unlikely he would be discussing its flaws even before release. Ultimately, fans will have to wait to get their hands on the game for themselves before they can form a full opinion on it.
