Awesome New Starfield Gameplay & Details Revealed
Earlier today Bethesda treated fans to a 45 minute presentation on Starfield. During this we learned quite a bit about the highly-anticipated space RPG, and got a look at some amazing new gameplay. Spoiler alert, it’s set to be a huge universe!
During the Starfield Direct we learned about the game’s massive scale, there will be over 1000 planets! Additionally Bethesda gave us a ton of information about what to expect from the combat, space travel and exploration, outpost building, character and ship creation and customization and more! If you want the full lowdown, check it out right here. Check out the new gameplay trailer below:
Here are some of the highlights:
- Starfield will be huge. There will be over 1000 planets to visit. Not all planets will have crazy game-changing quests to complete but the galaxy will be packed with resources to collect and things to see!
- Players will be able to fly through space in their own customizable ships. There’s a very flexible ship crafting system available. So much so that you can create an Optimus Prime looking ship.
- Combat and space battles will require strategy. Bethesda wants these encounters to feel “exciting and dangerous” while also giving players control of the power allocation system (boost power for faster ships or sacrificing systems to keep shields intact).
- There’s a ton of customization and options available for weaponry.
- Players will be able to choose from 40 preset templates for their character creation. Further customization available to make an even more unique character.
- Character creation doesn’t just include physical appearance. Players will get to choose their background and traits. Backgrounds give a backstory and three skills. (A few included are Beast Hunter, Bouncer, Cyber Runner, Pilgrim, Ronin and Gangster.) Traits come with both advantages and disadvantages so choose wisely!
- Skills can be earned through gameplay and completing challenges will level up their rank. With higher ranks come improved skills.
- There are 5 skill categories: Physical, Social, Combat, Science and Tech
