For example, picking 'Dueling' awards 10% extra melee damage, while 'Gastronomy' lets you create unique food and drinks, alongside researching further recipes.

Changeable skin tone, head shapes, hair, hair color, eyes, and body details, Bethesda's giving us the usual options here, alongside 'Background' and 'Traits'.īackgrounds offer three starting skills each. Starting with customization, we're playing a fully customizable protagonist. Starfield: Gameplayĭuring 2022's Xbox and Bethesda Showcase, we got our first in-depth look at Starfield's gameplay. With Microsoft now owners of developer Bethesda, this could be indicative of the future of titles like The Elder Scrolls 6 and Fallout 5 going forward. It won't be on Xbox One either, Bethesda's moving on from Microsoft's last-gen console. When Starfield does release, it'll be an Xbox console exclusive, with the E3 2021 trailer explicitly confirming this, ruling out a PS5 release. In an interview with the Washington Post (opens in new tab), Todd Howard said the studio was "confident in the date", but the delay, Bethesda has said, is to ensure that players "receive the best, most polished" version of it. Originally, at E3 2021, Bethesda announced Starfield would release on November 11, 2022. According to him, Bethesda has only delayed three games before and that while "all three games were supposed to come out in the fall" like Starfield, "all three games came out in March the next year." We'll have to wait for something official from Bethesda before we can be certain.
Howard talked about much, much more in his IGN Unfiltered interview – including why Starfield was a "now or never" project, and about the fact that an idea for Fallout 5 exists, but likely won't become reality for many years yet.Further to that, Kingscast (opens in new tab) host, KingFanMan, has theorized it could be March 2023. "Fallout 76 has really ended up being a great experience for us, and a great learning one," he explained, "but our passion is behind, 'Who are you going to be? This world is for you, go make it your own.'" That said, it seems that for the moment, Howard and his team are ready to move back into more familair waters with its next games. It's possible Starfield or The Elder Scrolls 6 could similarly reflect the effect of many players adventuring alone. Hideo Kojima's game saw players collaborating to build structures and provide hints for others as they travelled alone through its world. Howard didn't go into detail on what those social elements might be, but you could look to the likes of Death Stranding for how social elements can affect a single-player open world. "We've dabbled with some of that and not put it out, or things on paper, things we'd like to try in our games. "There are various ways you can talk about adding social elements to a game that I don't think take away from ," he added.
However, Howard clearly sees opportunities to allow for interaction of a kind between players within the margins of a traditional single player game.
#ELDER SCROLLS STARFIELD UPDATE#
Howard pointed to the fact that even the studio's big multiplayer experiment added an expansion that facilitated more single-player play: "With Fallout 76, once we added Wastelanders and that kind of questing stuff, the amount of people that want to play it as a solo experience is very, very strong." Wastelanders was a free update that added human NPCs, a new storyline, and more that we said made the game begin to "feel like a true Fallout game."
Howard replied, "Absolutely," adding later that "It's part of who we are, it's what we love about games." From the little we know of each project, BGS' next two games, Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6, will likely both be broadly single player games in the vein of the developer's best-loved work. Speaking during an episode of IGN Unfiltered covering Skyrim's 10th anniversary, Starfield, The Elder Scrolls 6, and more, Howard was asked if – after making the massively multiplayer Fallout 76 – the studio was still focused on making single-player games.
