We suspected it, Starfield will offer a huge universe to explore, but today, we finally know that it will be the size of the game map. Everything will be bigger than Fallout 76 and Skyrim combined.
Bethesda’s greatest game ever!
This isn’t the first time Bethesda has bragged regarding the greatness of Starfield… It must be said that the brand new license which has the difficult task of succeeding two flagship sagas, The Elder Scrolls and Fallout, spans more than 100 star systems which include a total of 1000 different planets to explore – figures which make you dizzy. In June, Todd Howard, its designer, had also said that the Starfield map would be the most important of all their previous productions. In particular, he specified that the whole thing would exceed the size of the playground of Fallout 76 which, as a reminder, is already four times larger than that of Skyrim. It will feature a total of four main cities, including one outsized, namely New Atlantis.
The city offers all the services you expect, and you can modify your ship thanks to the different factions (…) But New Atlantis is above all the headquarters of the Constellation, the last group of space explorers, to which the player belongs. A kind of mix between NASA, Indiana Jones and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Todd Howard, director of Starfield
That’s not all ! Today, thanks to the speech Inon Zur, the composer of the game, we even learn that Starfield will be larger than the two previously mentioned titles, since the whole thing would be twice as gigantic as the map of Fallout 76. Otherwise said, the different planets of Starfield will form a map that is eight times greater than that of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
A story more gripping than in the past
At the same time, we learn that the Starfield Campaign will be more engaging than before, since it will offer deep and philosophical reflections according to the game’s composer. Like all previous Bethesda productions, the space game will also emphasize freedom of action. So it will once once more be possible to shape your own story.
Unfortunately, to discover all this controller in hand you will have to be patient, since, as you surely already knew, Starfield will not be released on November 11, 2022 on PC and Xbox Series X | S, but at a later date. Indeed, on May 12, Bethesda has indicated that the promising title is finally pushed back to 2023 so as not to reproduce the error made by CD Projekt Red with Cyberpunk 2077.
