Todd Howard, in an interview with the Telegraph, confirmed that there would not only be alien creatures, but fully-fledged alien races. The Elder Scrolls’ diverse range of fantasy-inspired races demonstrates this point well. Considering the way things are looking currently, to leave them out would be a decision more closely related to fiction rather than science.īethesda have a strong track record of fleshing out their games’ worlds with a wide variety of creatures and species, both playable and non-playable. Quite simply, yet very importantly, there will be aliens. Howard stated that “we get into science, we get into religion”, which sounds suspiciously similar to Ridley Scott trying to explain Prometheus (for the record, I would absolutely love it if Starfield goes down a comparably horrific, tentacle-filled path). We've come to the beginning of humanity's final journey.įor all, into the starfield. Most interesting, at least to me, is his insistence that space travel suggests certain questions about religion – a train of thought which leads us to the whole ‘where do we come from, where are we going’ sci-fi trope. Howard has said a great deal about the story of the game without saying very much at all. What does sound a little bit more mysterious and fantastic is the story of Starfield. So, all signs are pointing towards a relatively realistic iteration of sci-fi, albeit one that is full of adventure and discovery.

Everything looks suitably lived in, which makes a lot of sense considering the proposed timeline. Or as Bethesda’s official Twitter succinctly puts it: “ the beginning of humanity’s final journey”.įrom what we’ve seen so far, the world doesn’t look overly futuristic more Star Wars’ worn-out and slightly grimy interpretation of space travel than the optimistic sheen of Star Trek or the first Mass Effect game. ![]() Starfield is set roughly 300 years in the future, after humankind has left Earth to explore the farthest recesses of the universe. Image: Starfield / Bethesda Softworks The narrative and world of Starfield “All I can really say is, ‘I apologize,’ because I’m certain that that’s frustrating to folks, but there’s not a whole lot I can do about it”. But you know if you wanna play Starfield… PC and Xbox… sorry.” “I don’t know how to allay the fears and concerns of PlayStation 5 fans other than to say, well, I’m a PlayStation 5 player as well, and I’ve played games on that console, and there’s games I’m gonna continue to play on it. The only gamers that will feel that they are missing out are PlayStation owners – to which Bethesda’s SVP Pete Hines has apologised: Some of our fans are upset/angry, and I'm sorry they are. Rather, people will be able to play Starfield on Xbox Series X/S, PC, or whatever else they can install the Game Pass application on. The days of console exclusives seem to be over for Xbox, and to a lesser extent PlayStation. While some have referred to this information as proof that the game will be an Xbox exclusive, that isn’t exactly the case. Starfield will be released on Game Pass on day one, meaning that subscribers won’t even have to purchase the game. Image: Starfield / Bethesda Softworks Which consoles will Starfield be available on? ![]() But with all four of Bethesda’s development studios (Maryland, Austin, Dallas, and Montreal) at work, and Microsoft’s strong desire to release an exclusive Game Pass AAA title as soon as possible, it seems unlikely. That said, according to Howard, the game itself has been in development for much longer than that.Ĭonsidering how common delays have been over the last year, it remains possible that we won’t see Starfield until 2023. If Bethesda is able to stick to that schedule, it will still have been over four years since the game was originally teased – which is a pretty long time to leave everyone hanging. Starfield has been given an official release date of November 11, 2022. ![]()
