Everything we know so far

Starfield is a very customizable game that will have gameplay similar to Fallout and Elder Scrolls. Bethesda has stated that the game will feature over 1,000 planets that you will be able to visit and explore. There is much to the game such as the story, gameplay, and settings. We do know one thing, this game will be anything but ordinary.

In Starfield, you are a member of Constellation – a group that is focused on tracking down rare artifacts throughout the galaxy. The game takes place in the year 2330, a time when humanity has already explored our galaxy and is navigating to others.

As you explore the universe, you will encounter multiple factions trying to stop your progress and others trying to help you on your journey.

There has been a full gameplay trailer released that shows off how Starfield plays. Multiple Starfield trailers have revealed small bits of gameplay with it appearing to be similar to a mix of Skyrim and Fallout.

Throughout the gameplay trailer, the player can be seen shooting multiple guns similar to how you do in Fallout. There is even a way to switch from third-person and first-person viewpoints.

There has even been an in-depth look into things such as outposts, NPCs, Romance, and more. When interacting with NPCs, there is a new persuasion system that involves spending points. You will also be able to get companions such as Vasco who was shown during the direct.

Finally, Starfield will feature thrilling space battles. You will get the opportunity to fly your ship around the cosmos and take place in spaceship battles. From the trailer, it seems these can also be switched between first and third-person POVs.

A few cities have been mentioned that will play a role in the game. The following cities have been showcased:

  • New Atlantis
  • Akila City
  • Neon

These are three of the four major cities that will play a large role in the story. Of course, you will visit many other planets as you make your way around the galaxy.
