After a lukewarm launch and prolonged silence, Bethesda confirmed additional Starfield story content and free updates. The confirmation appeared in a developer spotlight video on the official Bethesda YouTube channel featuring Timothy Lamb, Lead Creative Producer. Lamb said the team is preparing free updates, player-requested features, and a new DLC story, and that part of the team has focused on space gameplay to make interstellar travel more rewarding. Players have criticized current space travel for menus, loading screens, and fast travel. Datamining suggests a new 'cruise' mode to enable seamless world-to-world movement and potential random battles. Rumors also link a 'Starborn' patent to possible DLC.
Since the launch and subsequent mehness of Shattered Space, Bethesda has been awfully quiet about the future of This has led to people wondering if the team had wrapped up support for their space RPG and moved on to other things. It seems they aren't done after all, though, because they've just confirmed more story content is coming. The announcement was rather weird.
Timothy Lamb, the Lead Creative Producer of Starfield, was the subject of the 5:46-long video. His ongoing work on Starfield is a major component of the video, and eventually the topic of what's next for the game comes up. "I think as it comes to Starfield, I'm really excited for players to see what the team's been working on," Lamb said, excitedly.
Lamb couldn't offer any other details, but did say that "part of the team has been focused on space gameplay to make the travels there more rewarding." Players have been divided on Starfield's approach to space travel. Many criticised it for relying heavily on menus, loading screens, and fast travel, saying it breaks immersion and makes exploring the galaxy feel fragmented and shallow.
