starfield, Bethesda’s ambitious new RPG seems to be a mix between The Elder Scrolls and ambitious space games elite dangerous and the Star Citizen project. In a live stream presentation on Sunday, Game Director Todd Howard lifted the cover of the highly anticipated game to reveal flyable, customizable spaceships, as well as 100 star systems and more than 1,000 different worlds to explore.
The lengthy trailer, shown during a joint presentation with other Xbox Game Studios projects and timed to coincide with Summer Games Fest, also established the game’s plot. in the year 2330, starfieldPlayers are allied with Constellation, described as “the last group of space explorers” in search of lost alien artifacts. The cast consists of a multi-generational, multi-cultural crew, and the story might also reflect on or attempt to prove the existence of true divinity.
Regardless, there will be spaceships, sunsets, and helpful robotic companions, along with what promises to be another masterful soundtrack from Inon Zur. In the tradition of other Bethesda RPGs starfield will feature highly customizable character creation, craftable weapons and weapon modifications, and player bases. However, the highlight of Sunday’s presentation was the ship customization system, which includes options for multiple components from multiple manufacturers. Players will even be able to fly and fight in their ships from first or third person perspective.
2018 announced next door The Elder Scrolls 6, starfield was originally scheduled for a November 11, 2022 launch. Last month, that date was pushed back to the first half of 2023. The delay prompted an apology from Xbox boss Phil Spencer.
“These decisions are tough for the teams making the games and our fans,” Spencer wrote on social media back then. “While I fully support giving teams time to release these great games when they are ready, we do hear the feedback. It is expected to deliver quality and consistency, we will continue to work to better meet those expectations.”
starfield will be launched for Windows PC and Xbox Series X and will be playable via Xbox Game Pass at launch.
