Starfield is without a doubt one of the most anticipated games to come to Xbox. The new installment of Starfield caused an increase considerable of hype with the gameplay that we could see during the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase, in which we could not only see the game in motion, but details as interesting as the possibility of traveling through more than 100 different solar systems were revealed.
Given this, many users have been wondering in recent months as it would end up being the size of Starfield, since although it is a procedurally created system, all this extension will greatly expand the playable part of the title, and it seems that we already have an answer.
Starfield will be twice the size of any Bethesda game
In a interview with the composer of the gameInon Zur, it has been revealed that Starfield will be twice the size of any Bethesda game. Although this may seem like big words, the truth is that you have to take a look at the previous works of the company to really know what kind of extension we could find.
New Starfield details revealed
Without going any further, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is the largest game that the company has made to date, and said title had an area of 39 square kilometers. Heeding Zur’s words, the logical thing will be to think that the size of Starfield will be, at least, about 80 square kilometers. But is it really that big compared to other games?
To give an example of another RPG on the market, the map of The Witcher 3 has an extension of 136 square kilometers. Therefore, while Starfield would be the biggest game developed by Bethesda, it may not reach the scale seen in titles developed by other studios. However, that does not mean that it is a negative issue, since there is the possibility that the world created by the Bethesda team is much richer than that seen in any other game in the genre with a larger map than theirs. .
In addition, the Bethesda title plays with an important advantage over the rest of the competitors, as it is the procedural mapping system. Even without seeing how it works with our own eyes, this will mean a much higher level of replayability than any other game with a larger map. Therefore, the final conclusion is that Starfield will not be a game where the important thing is the final extension of its map, but rather what we will find in it.
