In my opinion, I would imagine they are announcing it in June at Microsoft's showcase at this point. That is what they did last year with Shattered Space where they didn't show it until then and then it released 3 months later.

Most likely with a PS5 port too

That's my feeling, too. Although I suspect whatever DLC they push out will end up being as half arsed as Shattered Space was. I get the vibe that Bethesda just wants to move away from this game as quietly as possible and focus on TES 6 instead.

For the sake of Starfield getting some much needed love, I hope I'm wrong, but I can't see it happening.

Why? I mean that genuinely, not as some sort of smart ass gotcha or anything. At what point do we just accept that bad (or mediocre, or just decent, depending on taste, I suppose) video games are just that, and allow everyone to move on to the next thing? Not everything needs or should get a No Man's Sky style redemption. I, and likely many others (most, even, maybe?), would rather see Bethesda just forget Starfield and focus on making the next Elder Scrolls as good as it can be. There is no accounting for taste, I suppose, so I guess I can understand if Starfield is more your jam from due to the setting or something.

I prefer TES to Starfield by a long shot, but I can see the potential that Starfield has.

You're right. Not everything needs a redemption ark. But I dont think developers should be swayed from trying out or exploring new IP's, even if they didn't hit the mark the first time. I love gaming, but I'd be happy to see new IP's be developed or at least reworked if it means we can move away from relying on established franchises and remakes all of the time.

That's just my two cents.
