It’s an important moment in any Bethesda Game Studios title – the moment where you leave the tutorial dungeon and step out into the sprawling, beautiful open world. According to game director Todd Howard, Starfield has two.
In a new video documenting the development process behind Bethesda’s upcoming spacefaring RPG, the developers discuss their approach to the game while comparing it to previous works and showing off some concept art.
During that chat, Todd Howard mentions that Starfield has “two step out moments”. Since Starfield is set in space, he could be referring to the first time you step out into the world of the starting planet and the first time you break through the atmosphere in your ship.
Elsewhere in the video, the developers talk about how Starfield will still be a Bethesda Game Studios-style experience, despite its ambition. You’ll be able to interact with props, uncover NPCs stories from the game’s rich environmental storytelling and create your own stories with its systemic mechanics.
Starfield is set for launch on Nov. 11, 2022. It’s coming to Xbox Series X/S and PC.
