Bethesda’s Starfield was on show today during its joint conference with Microsoft where it was shown off with a brand new trailer that demoed in-game footage, demonstrating what Bethesdda’s overhauled engine can do. The story, set hundred of years in the future, is about hope – and what humanity can do once it breaks free of the confines of earth. “Starfield is the first new universe in 25 years from Bethesda Game Studios, the award-winning creators of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Fallout 4,” reads a note on the game’s site. “In this next generation role-playing game set amongst the stars, create any character you want and explore with unparalleled freedom. Harnessing the power of next-gen technology and built on the all-new Creation Engine 2, Starfield takes you on a journey through space as you strive to answer humanity’s greatest mystery. Starfield was announced during Bethesda’s E3 2018 showcase, and it’s a game the studio has wanted to make for a long time. The fact it’s coming to just Xbox as a platform doesn’t come as too much of a surprise; only recently we heard that the sci-fi RPG Starfield will not be coming to PlayStation 5 thanks to Microsoft‘s acquisition of Bethesda. According to Todd Howard, the team wanted to design a game people will want to play for a decade at least (like Skyrim). The game has also been in development for quite a while, as working started on it when Bethesda Game Studios wrapped up Fallout 4 back in 2015.
