Bethesda has plans to make Starfield's marketing campaign follow in Skyrim's footsteps (purposely, so people can relate the two games in some way). The release date of the two games being the same is just one of the indications of this.
On February 23, 2011, Bethesda released a new Skyrim trailer (out of nowhere). On February 24th of this year Phil Spencer will attend the DICE awards event to receive an award (interactive.org/news/phil_spencer_lifetime_achievement_award.asp). Todd Howard will accompany him as part of the Xbox team.
He won't be there for nothing. This February 23, Bethesda will release a new Starfield trailer on YouTube and on its social networks, focused on some of the game's locations (which will be running directly on the game's engine). It will also show some enemies, clothes and stuff related to the Starfield universe - again: all in the engine. The event where he goes with Phil Spencer (DICE awards) will be broadcast on IGN, and IGN will be interviewing several people there. The day before the event (the 23rd) Bethesda will release this trailer, and on the 24th, through IGN at the event, Todd will be interviewed to give some more information about the game.
Some weapons will basically be versions of the current ones, but updated: with higher speed of fire, a little more futuristic appearance (some with even screens showing the amount of ammo - one of them was shown in the latest E3 2021 trailer). Others will be laser weapons, but they will be much slower and used at more specific times (like snipers).

That lettuce looks like shit. Is this the best they can do with today’s technology? Fuck this game and dropped.

The game is basically Elon Musk the game, with sci-fi stuff included that 1. doesn't make it a pain in the ass to play, e.g. faster than light travel, 2. tech that isn't too far fetched.
Lasers most likely shoot a straight line of light instead of little zaps like in Star Wars.

I think something like guns in Altered Carbon would be great. less about flashy lasers and more utility. Like a gun that just shoots flechettes but is uses advanced technology to do so easily and efficiently.

This. I want Elite x Cyberpunk but good.

Bethesda tried to make No Man's Sky in Fallout 4. They failed. That's all you're getting.
