One year after the release of Starfield, the ambitious space-faring title from Bethesda, the gaming community is gearing up for an exciting new chapter in this expansive universe. As the game celebrates its first anniversary, Bethesda is treating players to the first major expansion, dubbed Shattered Space, set to release on September 30, 2024. This announcement has been highlighted by unique promotional artwork created by a talented illustrator, Freya of PosterPosse, which was shared across social media platforms to ignite user anticipation.
Starfield, a game that originally launched on the Xbox Series X|S, allowed players to explore the depths of space and embark on a journey across the Settled Systems. The game quickly established itself as a flagship title for the newest generation of Xbox consoles with its rich narrative and expansive world. Now, with the introduction of Shattered Space, Bethesda aims to enrich this universe by pushing into genre territories that blend horror elements with the game's established sci-fi lore.
The upcoming expansion was previewed at Gamescom 2024, where it was described as a narrative-driven journey infused with horror, reminiscent of classic experiences that Bethesda has previously delivered in other acclaimed series like The Elder Scrolls and Fallout. Shattered Space is expected to maintain the core of what players loved about the original release but introduces a darker tone and new gameplay mechanics not seen in the main game.
Bethesda's recent update also brought a new land vehicle to Starfield, known as the 'Rev-8', which was added to the game as a free update. This new vehicle is set to enhance planetary exploration, offering new dynamics and functionalities for players to enjoy as they traverse various terrains within the game's universe.
