Starfield fans believe a trademark for “Starborn” registered by Bethesda parent company Zenimax earlier this month points to the game’s currently unrevealed second expansion, likely due in 2025.
Bethesda’s space RPG released last year, and is set to launch its first expansion Shattered Space in the coming months. In conversation with YouTuber MrMattyPlays back in June, Bethesda’s Todd Howard confirmed there would be at least one more expansion to come after Shattered Space, stating the studio was already “planning for the one after this”.
It now appears that this ‘planning’ has made further progress, thanks to that aforementioned trademark. As spotted by Timur222 on social media platform X, Bethesda has filed a trademark for something known as Starborn. What is a Starborn? We’ll explain below – so beware of small Starfield spoilers.
