We probably won’t get a good look at Starfield until the summer of next year.
During a Reddit ask me anything with Todd Howard, game director and executive producer at Bethesda Game Studios, a question about what Starfield brings to open-world RPGs was among the most upvoted comments. His answer was (unsurprisingly) coy.
“We prefer to just show it, which should be next summer,” Howard said on Reddit. “We’re happy with the advancements we’ve been able to make, some of which you can see in the trailer shot in-game.”
Next summer would line up nicely with E3 2022, so maybe we’ll see more of Starfield at Microsoft’s press conference by then. Though this is pure speculation on my part, mind you.
There’s was a teaser trailer for Starfield at E3 2021, which you can check out below. It has a couple of in-game shots but no actual gameplay.
We've come to the beginning of humanity's final journey.

A story trailer for Starfield called The Settled Systems came out back in October. Since then, though, there’s been next to no new information on the game. In that same Reddit thread, Howard admitted that his son roasted him over the lack of Elder Scrolls 6. Then there’s Fallout 5, which is also many years away — starting to notice a pattern here.
