Bethesda has finally shared the first gameplay footage for its highly anticipated space-faring RPG, Starfield, offering a 15-minute-long glimpse at the incredible worlds and vehicles that players can expect when the game arrives next year. The footage reveals a HUD that should be very familiar to fans of Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls and Fallout games, opening into a rocky environment that takes the character into a facility where they face off against pirates and other adversaries with futuristic weapons. Director Todd Howard goes on to show much more from the game, including new locations such as New Atlantis, the character creator, an outpost building system, ship customization, space combat, countless planets to explore, and more. Starfield will launch in 2023 for PC and Xbox Series X|S.
The year is 2330. Humanity has ventured beyond our solar system, settling new planets, and living as a spacefaring people. From humble beginnings as a space miner, you will join Constellation — the last group of space explorers seeking rare artifacts throughout the galaxy — and navigate the vast expanse of the Settled Systems in Bethesda Game Studios’ biggest and most ambitious game.
In this next generation role-playing game set amongst the stars, you will create any character you want and explore with unparalleled freedom as you embark on an epic journey to answer humanity’s greatest question: What is out there?
