After years of anticipation and intrigue, Bethesda’s new space RPG, Starfield, is finally set to release on September 6, 2023. The game has been a hot topic for discussion since its first announcement in 2018, and with its release date fast approaching, excitement is hitting an all-time high.
On June 11, 2023, Bethesda Game Studios showcased some exciting new details about the game at the Xbox event. The event, dubbed the “Starfield Direct,” was part of a double feature with the Xbox Games Showcase. Fans were treated to an extensive look at gameplay and feature ahead of the game’s official launch in September.
Starfield is Bethesda’s first fully original series in over two decades and is set to bring an open-world space RPG like no other. Players will get to explore a universe filled with a thousand explorable planets, engage in gunplay against bandits, and interact with various factions. There’s also a character and skill system that players can utilize to level up and gain additional benefits. The game will also feature a crafting system, allowing players to modify and customize their space guns. Players can also build custom outposts on the planets they explore.
In a thrilling revelation, Bethesda showcased Starfield’s ship customization, which will let players create their dream ship for their interstellar journeys. The game was originally scheduled to be released in November 2022 but was delayed to ensure players received the “most polished versions” of the game.
Notably, Starfield has been confirmed as a day-one addition to Xbox Game Pass, providing a cost-effective way for players to experience the game at launch. As game prices continue to rise, with Starfield costing $70, this is a welcome option for many gamers.
In summary, Starfield is shaping up to be one of the biggest game releases of 2023, and we can’t wait to see how it evolves the RPG genre. As we approach the game’s release, be sure to stay tuned for more updates and revelations about this ambitious space exploration game.
