One of the most anticipated games in 2023 is undoubtedly Starfield. Releasing in the Autumn, the game is set to be Bethesda’s first new universe in nearly twenty-five years. However, before its release exclusively on Xbox this year, players may wonder what to expect from the upcoming release. So here’s everything you need to know about Starfield, including its story, gameplay, and release date.
Starfield‘s Story
Currently, very little is known about the story of Starfield. We know that at the beginning of the game, you can fully customize your character and their backstory. You awaken on a ship, and later, you will encounter an artifact somewhere on your journey. At some point, you meet a group called Constellations. They are dedicated to researching the many mysteries of space and need your help. Along the way, you will meet many companions, enemies, and neutral parties on your journey.
Starfield boasts 1000 different planets through procedural generation and in-depth design. Players will undoubtedly spend dozens of hours exploring everything there is to offer. Bethesda has stated that exploration will be the main appeal to many playing Starfield. Only time will tell how they manage to make all 1000 planets feel varied and lively.
Gameplay
Starfield‘s gameplay has a lot of layers to it. It has the gunplay of Fallout with a variety of different options for combat, including melee, jetpacks, and potentially even a form of space magic. The other side of the gameplay is not on land but in the stars. Players can freely explore space with their customizable ships. They can fit them for combat, allow their companions to join them on their journey, and even help maintain the ship.
The freedom within gunplay and space traversal, along with the ability to pick various perks, makes Starfield unique. Players who have spent a lot of time playing both The Elder Scrolls and Fallout franchises will get a lot of enjoyment out of Starfield‘s gameplay formula.
Release Date (Starfield)
Starfield will release on September 6, 2023. It is available for pre-order exclusively on the Xbox Series X|S. You can play the game a few days early if you order a special digital version. It will also be available on Xbox Game Pass. More information about the upcoming game will be revealed closer to launch, so watch for more news about Starfield.
