Starfield promises it still exists as silence drives fans to space-madness, but it mostly just annoys everyone: 'They are deliberately choosing not to communicate more'

The creepiest guy leans in front of an NPC mid-conversation in Starfield.

It's odd to think about now, but there was a time when Baldur's Gate 3—Baldur's Gate 3—pushed its release date forward by a whole month in order to avoid clashing with Starfield, the game once feted to be the obvious blockbuster release of 2023.

Well, things change. It's downright uncontroversial to call BG3 one of the greatest games of all time (though I'm more of a BG1 and 2 guy myself) that still attracts tens of thousands of players every day. Starfield, meanwhile, launched to a positive reception but has since dwindled down to a 58%, mixed user review score on Steam, and it's been a while since Bethesda said, well, much of anything about the game since a November update.
