The Star Wars mods for this game are gonna be so lit. It's making me shiver, with antici...
The powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.And so we now have a proper trailer.
The Washington Post has a pretty good interview
that goes into a bit more depth than what was revealed during this year's E3 coverage.
It's still not much more to go on, since all we've got is a cinematic trailer with no gameplay shown and a few concept art images. But to quote Ashley Cheng, one of Bethseda's Managing Directors, "For me, Starfield is the Han Solo simulator. Get in a ship, explore the galaxy, do fun stuff." Todd Howard was describing it as "Skyrim in Space," and seems to be placing more emphasis than usual on the exploration and world-building aspects instead of conflict. Sounds like this game might actually play more like Elite: Dangerous, or - to drive even further how laughably ironic it's getting - Star Citizen, of all things.

An ex-developer from Bethseda leaked a bit of information regarding Starfield's progress.
And it's not some random gossip either; he's been confirmed to be legit by Jason Schreier, a well-respect tech and gaming journalist. The leaker's probably screwed himself over though, since this is likely in breach of his NDA...
Delayed into the first half of 2023.
Wow, except for the gunplay this is starting to look pretty awesome. Even cooler is how you can basically build your own starship out of various modules - an impressive feature by itself, but if it turns out to be mod-friendly as well? Hoo boy, I can't wait to see somebody's attempt at recreating the Millennium Falcon or the Rocinante!
We have confirmation that protagonist dialogue won't be voiced
and will be in first-person

This somehow feels like a step backwards, especially after several other AAA RP Gs managed to pull off voiced protagonists just fine. I mean, it’s not like the character creator allows species other than humans or (probably) any form of body augmentation that may alter one’s voice, so why not?

Hard disagree, voiced protagonists are good for the kinds of structured RP Gs like Mass Effect or The Witcher where the PC has an established background but for more free-form RP Gs like all of Bethesda's games they just limit the capability for roleplaying. Not to mention the practical costs of having to pay for a VO to read every single line.
For this kind of game it's very much a step forward.
"Einstein would turn over in his grave. Not only does God play dice, the dice are loaded." -Chairman Sheng-Ji YangYeah, it's worth emphasizing that even by the standards of voiced protagonists Fallout 4's execution was spectacularly bad. In Mass Effect I was almost never surprised by what Shepherd said, but it wasn't unusual for a conversation in 4 to have at least one line that was hopelessly vague.

Sandwiched between Fallout 76 and Elder Scrolls VI at the end of Bethesda's E3 presentation was the announcement of Starfield, which was confirmed as a single player sci-fi title and a new IP.
No release data or gameplay details yet.
Knowing the developer, I kind of hope we're in for The Elder Scrolls ... in space!
