Starfield Confirms Expansion Will Arrive In The Second Half Of The Year

Last year, one of the most anticipated games was Bethesda’s first new intellectual property in 25 years: Starfield. However, despite the enormous anticipation for the game prior to its release, the title did not achieve the resounding success of other company games like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, to the point that it only received one nomination for The Game Awards 2023.

Starfield Announces Its First DLC Called Shattered Space

Nevertheless, Starfield continues to enjoy high popularity among its fans, and Bethesda keeps adding content to the game. Now, director Todd Howard confirmed that the game’s first expansion, called Shattered Space, will arrive this Autumn.

The news was announced thanks to an interview Howard there, the creative, who also serves as executive producer of Bethesda Game Studios, talked about the future of Starfield and specifically mentioned the Shattered Space expansion.

While Howard did not confirm a specific release date, he did state that it will be released in the North American fall, which begins in September, after the game’s first anniversary. Details about Shattered Space are still scarce, but last December, Bethesda had mentioned that the expansion will add new story, new maps, new equipment for the characters, and more.

In addition to Shattered Space, the game continues to receive updates of various sizes. Howard mentioned that the next game update, which will include elements related to shipbuilding, will be announced “in the coming days.” Also, the director talked about an upcoming “major update” that will be released “very soon.”

In this case, Howard commented that one of the things to be included relates to map improvements. This is part of Bethesda’s support strategy for Starfield, as the studio had previously stated that it plans to release significant updates around every six weeks.

During the month of March, the game received two updates with quality-of-life improvements and changes to lock-picking mechanics.

Starfield is available for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC. According to various rumors, Bethesda’s game would be one of those that could potentially lose its exclusivity in the future to arrive on PlayStation 5.
