Starfield's latest video presents the setting and story of the game.

Bethesda has released a new Starfield video, this time providing an overview of the game's overall setting, known as "The Settled Systems." Told by Emil Pagliarulo, director of design at Bethesda Game Studios, the video explains that Starfield will transport players to systems installed in 2. The installed systems are located in "a partially small pocket of the Milky Way, in an area that is 'extending outward from our solar system for about fifty light-years. Giving basic information about the installed systems, Pagliarulo reveals that twenty years before the events of Starfield, the XNUMX largest factions in the systems, the United Colonies and the Freestar Collective, were engaged in a "bloody colony war." When Starfield begins, the factions have settled into a " difficult enough peace," but that doesn't make the game's world any less dangerous for wide-eyed explorers. And a wide-eyed explorer is just what you'll be. As one of Constellation's new recruits, a organization "committed to unraveling the mysteries of the galaxy", players will have to "explore the deepest reaches of the colonized systems". Regardless of the peace between the main factions, it seems that players must be willing to face a vast range of other potentially dangerous sets, from mercenaries and pirates to "enthusiastic religious enthusiasts". As with previous Starfield informational videos, this does not include gameplay footage or gameplay screenshots of installed systems. Instead, you can glimpse multiple pieces of ideal art designed to nurture your imagination and give an overall impression of the epic scale that Bethesda seems to be aiming for with Starfield.

After discovering 3 more different specific cities that will be in Starfield in August, it looks like Bethesda is really stepping back with this new video, giving us an even more tantalizing glimpse of the scale we could expect from this gaming world. The latest clips showed us the capitals of the United Colonies and Freestar Collective, called New Atlantis and Akila, respectively. These were pretty contrasting setups, so by taking these videos together it's quite possible to start building a fuller picture of the tensions between the game's biggest factions and why there might be twenty lingering issues. bloody war. Sounds like the kind of weak peace that a mischievous or purposeful player might poke their nose into, doesn't it? Still, it's worth remembering that while the ideal art featured here is gorgeous and perfect for wheting our hunger for Starfield, it doesn't necessarily reflect exactly what we'll occasionally see in the game itself. As it stands, we still have a lot to see. However, from everything that has been shown so far, Starfield seems like an ambitious game with a lot of promise. Starfield's release date is still set for November XNUMX, XNUMX, which is still a year away, so we have plenty of time before we wait for more cinematic trailers and gameplay footage. When Starfield launches, it will be playable on PC and Xbox Series X, with an Xbox Game Pass launch the first day.
