Bethesda delays 'Starfield' and 'Redfall' to 2023

Bethesda

Bethesda is delaying two major Xbox console exclusives to next year. Starfield, the space exploration game, was initially supposed to debut on November 11, 2022, as an homage to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. But now it's getting some more time in development as the release date gets pushed back to the first half of 2023. Another title that will be delayed is the vampire co-op shooter Redfall. 

As The Verge pointed out, Bethesda might be talking about the games at its upcoming games showcase on June 12, but it wanted to set the record before that.

New action RPG 'Zenless Zone Zero' gets teased by 'Genshin Impact' developer

The studio behind Genshin Impact has a new game coming out. Hoyoverse just shared a teaser for Zenless Zone Zero, an action RPG set in what looks like a modern urban setting. The game pits you against Ethereal, monstrous creatures borne from another dimension. As a nod to Neon Genesis Evangelion, the action takes place in New Eridu, one of the last few cities to survive the destruction caused by the Ethereal.

You play as a "Proxy," and you need to organize a disparate party of characters to battle the monsters. Hoyoverse hasn't shared information on its release date yet or how it plans to monetize the game. But you can sign up to take part in the game's closed iOS and PC beta over on its official website.

Android Auto to make split-screen a standard for all displays

Google

Android Auto's latest refresh will now adapt to the changing sizes and nature of the car's touchscreens. Google says its split-screen display will be a standard for all users, giving you access to critical features like navigation, messages, and the media player on one screen. This option used to be limited to certain vehicles, but it'll now be the default experience for everyone. And this system will adapt to any type of touchscreen. With screens getting larger in cars, like the 56-inch wide display on the Mercedes-Benz EQS, Google decided to adapt to this change. 

"That was part of the new motivation behind this redesign, was being able to adapt our product better to these vehicles that are coming out with these massive portrait displays and massive widescreen displays," said Rod Lopez, lead product manager at Android Auto. "And so our approach has been working really closely with these OEMs [original equipment manufacturers] to make sure that things make sense and they work."
