In the video, the host discusses new leaks regarding the upcoming DLC for Starfield, titled “Shattered Space,” which is expected to be released in September 2024. The host references Insider Gaming as the source of this information and anticipates a release date trailer to be revealed around August 20, coinciding with the Gamescom event. The video emphasizes the excitement surrounding the new content, particularly given its distinct and creepy aesthetic compared to previous aspects of Starfield.
The discussion then shifts to the next DLC after “Shattered Space,” which will be called “Starborn,” anticipated for release in late 2025. The host expresses curiosity about the lore surrounding the Starborn characters, including their origins and significance within the Starfield universe. This DLC is expected to address many unanswered questions and further explore the game’s narrative, particularly regarding House Veron and its connections to the Starborn.
The video also touches on concerns about the frequency and quality of content in future expansions, with the host highlighting Todd Howard’s statement about planning annual expansions for Starfield. While one new DLC per year may seem limited, the host hopes that each expansion will offer substantial content to keep players engaged, especially given the potential for repetitive gameplay in the absence of new missions and experiences.
Additionally, the host notes that Starfield’s player count has been declining since its launch, although it remains competitive with other RPGs like Fallout 4 and Skyrim. The video acknowledges that the space theme may not appeal to as wide an audience as other genres, but expresses gratitude for the game’s unique vision and the experience it offers to its dedicated player base.
Finally, the host mentions a recent update in the game’s Steam database that hints at upcoming content, suggesting that Bethesda is preparing for new releases. While the exact nature of this content remains unclear, the host believes it could revitalize interest in the game and draw players back. The video concludes with the host’s personal critique of the presenter’s delivery style, advocating for better diction and presentation in future videos.
