We’re going into the beyond.
Xbox & Bethesda kicked off their showcase with a brand new endeavors and the creation of a brand new universe in Starfield. If you didn’t notice, Starfield wasn’t mentioned to be on PlayStation as Xbox’s Sarah Bond would confirm that it will be “exclusive” to Microsoft. The trailer shows in-game alpha footage of Starfield from Bethesda’s all-new Creation Engine 2.
Additionally, Todd Howard was featured in a feature with The Washington Post to shed some light on Starfield,
“Starfield is our first new universe in over 25 years. It’s a game we’ve dreamt of playing, and it’s only now that we have the hardware, the technology, and the experience to push our creative boundaries even further. Starfield is a next-generation role-playing game where you’ll be who you want, go where you want, experience our stories, and forge your own. More than that, Starfield is about hope, our shared humanity, and searching for the answers to life’s greatest mysteries.”
Starfield is in development at Bethesda Game Studios, the developer behind Skyrim and Fallout 4. The studio is now owned by Microsoft as part of the Xbox company’s $7.5 billion acquisition of Bethesda’s parent company, ZeniMax. A new post on the Xbox blog reveled the official description for Starfield,
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 will be available on November 11th, 2022 exclusively on Xbox with it also being available on Xbox Game Pass on the same day that it launches.
