Starfield represents something unique in relation to Bethesda, a studio typically associated with the Elder Scrolls and later entries in the Fallout series, so it's understandable that many are amped up for this new IP. As one of the most anticipated games of 2023, fans are curious to know how the Skyrim studio will handle an open-galaxy sci-fi game. Unfortunately, there's been no exact date given for its release, however some think they may have come across a potential sign about the game's launch day.
According to a new report from PC Gamer, some people in the Starfield community have been theorizing about specifically when they'll have the option to get their hands on it. Based on a serial number from one of the game's ships, it's been suggested that Starfield could release on March 23 of the following year. The reasoning behind this has to do with a reference to the Wright brothers and the patent for their "flying machine," which goes way back to the turn of the last 100 years.
In a nutshell, when Bethesda released the first official Starfield trailer last month, it was noticed that the number on a spaceship read "SV 821 393." The number itself is presumed to be a reference to the Wright brothers' patent, which is patent number 821,393. Following on from that, others have distinctly referenced that this first airplane's patent was granted on May 22, 1906, however was initially documented on March 23, 1903. Thus, some vibe that March 23 is the point at which the game will release. It sounds tenuous, yet Todd Howard has gone on record saying that he likes "visually" pleasing dates, and 3-23-23 does seem to fit that esthetic ideal. Also the fact that it marks the 120th anniversary of the patent being recorded.

Of course, it's implied that this is just speculation. Neither the studio, its parent company, or anyone else officially associated with the game has confirmed this alleged release date. Initially, the game was supposed to be out this November 11, yet Bethesda delayed the release of Starfield and Redfall, citing a desire to make sure each task would live up to quality assumptions.
With The Elder Scrolls 6 supposedly in pre-creation and Howard currently confirming Fallout 5, fans can anticipate some exciting things from Bethesda. Notwithstanding, almost certainly, gamers will be waiting seemingly forever for these two games to be released. It's already been over a decade since Skyrim came out, and with the developer right now putting focus on marketing and finalizing its upcoming sci-fi title, the other two games may not be getting a lot of notice until after Starfield releases.
