An enthusiastic follower of Starfield has meticulously decoded a substantial segment of the game's marketing strategy by meticulously scrutinizing and observing gameplay videos.According to the fan's hypothesis, a sequence of numbers glimpsed in recent Starfield footage indicates the imminent release dates preceding the highly anticipated launch on September 6.
Bethesda has indeed confirmed one of the anticipated dates through the release of animated shorts, suggesting that the fan's theory may have merit. Nonetheless, skeptics speculate that this fan could potentially be an employee of Bethesda.
A proficient Starfield enthusiast, equipped with commendable research abilities, has seemingly succeeded in unraveling a significant portion of the game's forthcoming marketing plans. Without delay, they took to social media to disclose their discoveries and subsequent predictions for Starfield, one of which has already become a reality.
The June 11 Starfield Direct showcased nearly an hour of fresh gameplay footage for the upcoming RPG. Surprisingly, this event also marked the start of a six-week period during which Bethesda remained silent about the game. This unexpected hiatus left fans with little to do except meticulously analyze the existing gameplay videos frame by frame, leading to some intriguing discoveries about Starfield's abilities, planets, and other features.
One devoted fan took this task to heart and dedicated almost 200 hours to assembling Starfield's complete skill system based on the fragments of information disclosed by Bethesda thus far. However, this endeavor, credited to Reddit user asd8dhd, unveiled much more than just the skill system—it also unearthed a significant portion of the game's marketing roadmap that had been hidden in plain sight for weeks. The crux of their theory revolves around a number sequence briefly glimpsed in recent Starfield footage, offering insight into the visual representation of gravity jumps.

August 1
August 8

August 22
August 29:
In total, there are six numbers in the series: 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, and 42. Upon observing the repetition of this pattern in the scene, along with the presence of a "loading event sequence" message, asd8dhd speculated that these numbers may represent six dates leading up to the release of Starfield on September 6. Under this interpretation, 7 and 14 would correspond to August 29 and August 22, respectively, and so on.
The first of these six predictions came true shortly after asd8dhd posted their theory on Reddit. Bethesda has now released three animated shorts that reveal new lore details about Starfield. If this observant fan is correct, the developer will continue releasing weekly promos leading up to the game's release.
While some fans expressed awe that the first prediction came true, others were skeptical of the decoding effort. Speculation arose that asd8dhd may be a Bethesda employee, considering it unlikely for someone to deduce the game's marketing plan from a seemingly random number sequence. However, asd8dhd consistently denied these allegations, attributing their findings to "space magic." Regardless, the newly released promos may temporarily halt fan speculation about Starfield's planetary scale and other minor details, at least until they thoroughly analyze every frame of the newly debuted videos.
Starfield launches September 6 on PC and Xbox Series X/S.
