It’s been a while since Bethesda’s had anything significant to say about Starfield, but that should be changing soon – not only is its Shattered Space story expansion now confirmed to be gearing up for an autumn release, a new free update should be launching soon.
Shattered Space first reared its head last June, when it was bundled into a couple of Starfield special editions for release sometime this year. And Bethesda’s Todd Howard, speaking to Kinda Funny Games (thanks VGC) has now narrowed that down, confirming the expansion – which promises new story content, new locations, new gear, and more – is coming “in the fall”.
But there’s more Starfield stuff happening too, with Howard also revealing a new free update will “get announced in a few days this week” ahead of the usual Steam beta – which puts its arrival around a month and a half after March’s update, meaning Bethesda is still managing to stick to last year’s promise of releasing new Starfield updates “roughly every six weeks”.
