So we'd posit that means exploration with Constellation will involve some alien stuff going on. Good news for players who want to experience everything Starfield has to offer.īethesda boss Todd Howards told The Telegraph (opens in new tab) that Starfield would be like "NASA meets Indiana Jones meets the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen." The quartet, consisting of Game Director Todd Howard, Design Director Emil Pagliarulo, Lead Quest Designer Will Shen, and Lead Artist Istvan Pely, discussed how Starfield is promiing to shake up how players interact with video game worlds and NPCs. THis is where the Constellation organization comes in forming "the last group of space explorers", which the player's character will surely join as part of the main quest.Īcross this adventure, we can expect Starfield players to encounter all manner of factions such as the Freestar Collective, a libertarian confederation and one of two main governments in the Settled Systems, and the pirate-like Crimson Fleet. And according to Bethesda (opens in new tab), you don't have to worry about missing out on a faction's quests if you choose another. Humanity has explored a lot of space, so the next frontier/left over mystery is something to do with a ring-like artefact. Starfield's main story is a bit of an enigma. It’s just, you know, it’s a fun killer.” Starfield story We’ve found you’ll be playing the game and ‘I ran out of fuel, OK, I guess I’ll just wander these planets trying to mine for fuel so I can get back to what I was doing. Whereas we used to run out of fuel you’d jump and get stranded, which on paper is a great moment when you get stranded and you’ve got to press this beacon and you don’t know who’s going to come. “But it has a tone of there's some effort involved and we’ve dialed it back as we’ve been making the game. “When you actually play the game, because it’s a game we don’t actually kill you when you fly out in space,” Howard told YouTuber and interviewer Lex Fridman (opens in new tab). And that means there'll be survival elements, but thankfully Todd Howard has said they will won't be an irritating obstacle to exploration. Starfield will lean into hard sci-fi rather than the more fantasy settings of Star Trek and Star Wars. But we suspect a lot of these will be optional places to visit than making Starfield an unwieldy game. Speaking of which you'll be able to pilot it and engage in space combat just expect it to be a more sedate affair than the likes of Star Wars: Squadrons, given these will be big ship that'll be zapping each other than nimble starfighters.Īpparently there'll be more than 1,000 planets to explore, thanks to procedural generation. According to recent reports, a showcase for the upcoming spacefaring RPG is set to take place next week, giving gamers their first real. After years of anticipation, Bethesda ‘s Starfield may finally be getting the showcase that fans have been waiting for.

So, let’s stop doing this dance.įollow me on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. I know it’s a different scenario to a point because Bethesda used to be independent, but that’s what $7 billion buys, all the exclusivity Microsoft wants. Tell Nintendo that they should bring Mario or Zelda games to PS5 and Series X and people will look at you like you’ve lost your mind. The counter-argument here is that Microsoft is “limiting sales” by keeping Bethesda games off PlayStation, which moved 116 million PS4s and will likely sell at least that many PS5s in the long run, and yet you don’t hear people asking why Sony is limiting sales by not releasing God of War or Horizon Zero Dawn or Ghost of Tsushima on Xbox. It’s why most, if not all future Bethesda games will be. It’s why almost certainly Elder Scrolls 6 will be. It’s why Starfield is Xbox/Game Pass exclusive. So in that case, that’s one Bethesda game PlayStation fans are certainly getting.īut it’s easy to see how Microsoft’s massive, multi-billion dollar purchase of Bethesda is primarily meant to give them an exclusive roster of IPs, the exact tool they needed to better take on PlayStation and its must-have first party games. That has created situations like old deals remaining in place, such as Bethesda’s Deathloop about to be released this fall as a timed exclusive on PlayStation. Microsoft is in an odd spot right now because their purchase of Bethesda is so fresh.
