Starfield is one of the most ambitious and anticipated games in the catalog of Bethesda, along with that The Elder Scrolls IV that excites us so much even without knowing anything. But the latter is a long way off, so for now we will focus on this promising new IP: its managers have released a new trailer to talk about its universe.
In the video, the designer Emil Pagliarulo explains that the events of Starfield are located in the year 2330, in a corner of the Milky Way about 50 light years from the solar system. Our role is that of a new recruit from the Constellation organization, who is dedicated to studying the mysteries of the galaxy. The point is, of course, nothing is that simple.
Twenty years before our adventure began, two major political factions — United Colonies and Free Star Collective, respectively — began colonial wars that have been resolved with some tensions and loose ends in the environment: there are still dangers out, as mercenaries, cultists, and pirates of the Crimson Fleet.
This all sounds (and is) really inspiring, although it’s not really too far off the mark. world building Bethesda Traditional: If you’ve played, for example, Fallout 76 or TES V Skyrim to name some of the publisher’s most recognizable games, you’re sure to find parallels with the direction Starfield is taking. So we have every reason to be excited.
If there are no delays, Starfield will be available on November 11, 2022. It will be available exclusively on Microsoft platforms, ie PC and next-gen Xbox consoles.
