Bethesda's Starfield was the most exciting E3 announcement no one talked about. To be fair, Bethesda delivered a lot of chat-worthy things at its E3 presentation. Fallout 76 made headlines for taking the series in an MMO direction. A new Elder Scrolls game was finally announced. And Keegan-Michael Key even showed up in a hilarious reference to the Skyrim meme. With all of those amazing things, the news that Bethesda is creating an entirely new, next-gen IP sort of slipped under the radar. Well now its time to learn more about Starfie
The company has developed a new engine tool that allows the development team to create a larger landmass for their world. It’s unclear if Howard was referring to a landmass continent, or perhaps multiple planets given the sci-fi genre of the game, but the size of the overall map will be large in any c
" Yeah, I think they're gonna have an event for this. Leading up to E3, I think this is one of the milestones for Microsoft. Once the deal closes they will talk about it in a in a big way. I don't know if it'll be like a full direct style event, but they will make note of it and they will talk about it extensively and explain what it means to everybody and kind of talk about the immediate future for both companie
Dubbed Fallout in space, the gaming world seems to have forgotten about Starfield until now. When a post by ResetEra user AAMARMO suggested that the title could be a mobile game, it was quickly rebuffed by fan Potterson's claims that not only will S tarfield follow in the footsteps of the Fallout games, but that it is coming to E3. Such wild claims could lead to Potterson being banned from the forum; however, administrators have issued the following statem
"I don't want to say yes or no to that because I don't know what that means to you or whoever's going to read that," he said. "But it has a lot of new systems we've been thinking about for a while that fit that kind of game really well. We'll talk about it in the futu
This development raises a lot of questions about the future of a lot of Bethesda projects. The two biggest Bethesda games on the horizon, Starfield Factions|Https://Starfieldgalaxy.Com/ and The Elder Scrolls 6 , were both announced back in 2018 during E3. Both projects got brief announcement trailers, and both fell to radio silence over the two years that have passed since, with only brief indications they're still in development serving as news updates. The Microsoft buyout makes the status of Starfield and TES 6 on PS5 unclear, too, which is further complicating the fact that fans still know next to nothing about either g
Virtually nothing is confirmed about Starfield except that it's Bethesda Game Studios ' first entirely original RPG IP in many years and that the company considers it and The Elder Scroll VI are its top priorities . A 2018 teaser seemingly implied a hard sci-fi tone, with more realistic spacecraft than those in games like The Outer Worlds or Mass Effect . In fact, designer Todd Howard says he visited SpaceX as part of his research, though he has also clarified that the game's spaceflight won't be as " punishing " as it is in the real wo
"At this time administrators cannot verify the contents of the quoted post made by Potterson in this thread are accurate. However, the user has shared information with us that suggests they could be in a position to know the information they claim in the post. As always, ResetEra members take full responsibility for what they po
Fallout has already made a name for itself in the sci-fi genre, but just imagine a world where psychotic robots roam around the cavernous halls of a space station and take on the remnants of human life. The studio is clearly working on something big for E3, but it's best to take everything with a very large grain of salt for the time being. If Starfield really is coming though, prepare to look to the stars for something new, especially if the game makes its debut at
"We talked about [sci-fi] and then it really picked up steam when we registered the trademark about five years ago, and then we would talk about it from time to time, 'What are we going to do?' and then we started work right after Fallout 4 was finish
The gaming studio will once again be a big part of E3, and with a couple of months to go before the expo, the internet is awash with rumors and teases of potential announcements. Gaming fans are already pumped for Bethesda's potential Doom 2 announcement , but there's no denying that Starfield would be a noteworthy announcement in its own ri
That future might be very far off, but Howard has apparently been contemplating Starfield for a very long time. He mentioned to Eurogamer that Bethesda began putting together a team after Fallout 4 's launch. Which was in late 2015. However, the initial ideas were born as far back as 2
In a lengthy essay published to Bethesda.net following Microsoft's acquisition, Todd Howard mentioned a scant bit of info about the two titles, if only to remind fans that they still exist. Howard's essay reflected on the legacy of Bethesda and its partnership with Xbox, which allowed it to bring Morrowind to the Xbox console back in 2002. Howard claims that being bought by Microsoft will allow Bethesda to make the most use of the Xbox Series X's next-gen technology to advance the development of both Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6 . Most notably, Howard said that the Series X's new hardware has led to Bethesda's biggest engine overhaul since Oblivion . To quote the man himself, " These new systems are optimized for the vast worlds we love to create, with generational leaps not just in graphics, but CPU and data streaming as wel
