Greg Miller of Kinda Funny had a roughly 40-minute-long interview with Todd Howard, of Bethesda fame. During the interview, Todd stated that Starfield’s first expansion, Shattered Space, will be released in the Fall of 2024. Shattered Space is included for owners of the Starfield Deluxe Edition and is rumored to focus on the elusive House Va’ruun. Todd teased that a new update for the base game will be announced later in the week, stating it had updates for the game’s ship-building mechanics.

When this drops I'll give the game another go, simply because I stupidly purchased the deluxe edition at launch.

 

[Duchess]

80% chance the "Game of the Year" edition will arrive on PS5 at the same time.

 

[violence]

Thanks for this. I didn't realize I was still subbed to Kinda Funny on youtube. Now fixed.

You spelled 100% wrong

I was thinking that too. Good opportunity for them.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Honestly, they should just focus on Fallout 5 and Elder Scrolls 6 and write this IP off ASAP. Absolute waste of money and resources.

 

[R3TRO]

Fall?…Ain’t that a bitch.

 

[havoc00]

The best get better!

 

[JayK47]

My low expectations will be shattered.

 

[R6Rider]

 

[Topher]

Better be worth the wait.

They can't. Many of us have already paid for it.

 

[Atrus]

This is probably the longest they’ve taken for an expansion that I can remember. People actually pre-paid over a year in advance, sight unseen, for it.

Put 10 hours into the deluxe version of a game I was massively disappointed in.....

I think the bones of Starfield are ok, I think it'll be a much better game when/if the community gets mod tools to make a good game from it.

 

[Punished Miku]

Cant wait. Hopefully just the first of several expansions

 

[adamsapple]

100+ hours in the base game, looking to add another 20 or so with this expansion.

I wonder how it's going to factor into how the main narrative ends. Shit goes real wild so the expansion entry is either just going to ignore it or take place before the narrative ending.

 

[gothmog]

I have no expectations based on the last few updates to the game. It's painful watching them move this slow after watching the Ori team release new builds every other day or so since No Rest For The Wicked released in early access a week ago.

I'd love to see an EA build channel of Starfield where they move fast and break stuff, but I think at this point they're too scared and proud to risk looking bad.

 

[Clintizzle]

I'm quietly excited

 

[rickybooby87]

Where’s my m

 

[salva]

I can't wait, I just started playing it again. I only did half the faction missions last time, so going through those

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

Where’s my m

yup, unusually long wait for the ck tools is not helping.

 

[graywolf323]

Better be worth the wait.



They can't. Many of us have already paid for it.

to be fair, they’ve basically done this with Redfall even though I’m sure there’s people that bought the Digital Deluxe that included the Hero Pass

it’s been what a year now? and that was only for two new heroes

 

[Arsic]

I had 75 hours of fun with the base game and I’m ready for some more this fall.

 

[Topher]

Yeah, but nothing like Shattered Space. They can't cancel the expansion.

 

[Punished Miku]

They didnt even abandon Fallout 76. You guys are out of your mind if you think they are ditching Starfield.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Nice. I’ll play Fallout 4 while I wait for this.

 

[digital_ghost]

My low expectations will be shattered.

Starfield shattered hopes.

 

[geary]

I never undestood people wanting to abandon something right away if it displeased them.

 

[JimmyRustler]

Lemme guess… they’ll add another 1000 generated planets to the game.

Seems like they could just incorporate it anywhere within the course of the game. You'd be able to access the new content on a fresh play-through or on a starborn run.

Looking forward to seeing what they do with it. I wonder if it will included gameplay that is similar to entangled at all. That was one of my favorite quests, something like that might fit the title.

 

[damidu]

please be excited!

Listen to the interview, it’s good. Starfield is a new IP and it’s own thing, played for other reasons than Elder Scrolls and Fallout. One of the worst PR blunders was calling it Skyrim in space. It’s nothing like Skyrim.
As a fan I’d say there is nothing else out there quite like it. There is No Man’s Sky, I love that too, but the combat is bad there and there is no roleplaying or ship building. Makes me happy to hear they’re still seeing it as a success and keeps building on it even though it’s so divisive in the gaming community.
Day 1 on the update and expansion!

 

[Soodanim]

There is No Man’s Sky, I love that too, but the combat is bad there and there is no [...] ship building.

There is now (most recent update)

 

[Chukhopops]

Really looking forward to it, support on this game has been impressive so far.

Hope it adds another faction and makes the universe feel more at war. Add a revamp of the crafting system and we’re good for another 120 hours.

 

[CityHunter1981]

I wonder how many people will really play the DLC.

I don’t know if it’s just me, but even if I enjoy a game and am happy about a DLC announcement, I already moved on and just don’t want to go back.
Actually I already had the case 3 times where I preordered the DLC, but then never touched it when it came out. Might be that it’s because I have children and therefore have very limited time, but I also don’t feel really like playing it again when the DLC comes out.
I am always thinking, I completely forgot how to play the game, its mechanics and partly the story and I don’t want to learn all this again.
