The feature-length trailer, which aired during a co-production with other Xbox Game Studios and dated to coincide with the Summer Games Fest, also defined the game’s story. In the year 2330, Starfield players allied with Constellation, described as “the last team of space explorers”, who are in a quest to retrieve lost objects of extraterrestrial origin. The cast consists of a multifaceted, multicultural crew and history could also ponder or attempt to prove the existence of the true deity. Regardless, there will be spaceships, sunsets and useful robot companions, along with what promises to be another masterful soundtrack from Inon Zur. According to the tradition of other Bethesda RPGs, Starfield will include highly customizable character creation, handmade weapons and weapon modifications, as well as player bases. The highlight of Sunday’s presentation, however, was the ship’s customization system, which includes options for multiple components from multiple manufacturers. Players will even be able to fly and fight on their ships from a first or third person perspective. Announced in 2018 along with The Elder Scrolls 6, Starfield was originally scheduled for release on November 11, 2022. Last month, that date was moved to the first half of 2023. The delay led to an apology from Xbox chief Phil Spencer . “These decisions are difficult for the teams that make the games and our fans,” Spencer wrote on social media at the time. “While I fully support giving teams time to release these great games when they are ready, we listen to the comments. Quality and consistency are expected, we will continue to work to better meet these expectations. “ Starfield will be released for PC with Windows and Xbox Series X and can be played on the Xbox Game Pass.
