Bethesda has confirmed that the first post-launch expansion for Starfield, called Shattered Space, was briefly mentioned during the Direct showcase. Despite its small appearance, the showcase provided a glimpse of Starfield's exciting features such as diverse planets, cities, gunplay, skills, companions, and ship customization, among others. Fans anticipated the game to be the highlight of the showcase, and it definitely did not disappoint. With the game's vast freedom and potential for hundreds of hours of gameplay, the upcoming post-launch expansions will undoubtedly enhance the overall experience.
Starfield's upcoming expansion, Shattered Space, has left fans in anticipation, with its details yet to be revealed. The title itself hints at a potential horror theme, similar to the popular game Dead Space. This expansion was first showcased during the unveiling of the Constellation Edition of Starfield, which not only includes Shattered Space but also offers cosmetic add-ons, up to five-day early access, a special case, a Constellation box with a patch and watch, and more.
It's difficult to predict what players can expect from Shattered Space, as the game is packed with so many features that it will undoubtedly be complete upon release. However, as a story DLC, fans can anticipate the story's continual expansion. From what was shown today, it appears that players will team up with Constellation after coming across an artifact that seems to communicate with them. While aliens may not play an immediate role in Starfield, discovering this ancient alien civilization could be significant. This aspect of the game has similarities to Mass Effect, but Shattered Space could take it even further. Ultimately, there are many possibilities for what Shattered Space may entail. Despite heavy competition from other games showcased at Xbox Games Showcase, the Starfield Direct managed to stand out and end the event on a high note. Fans can look forward to more news in the coming months leading up to its release, but the mystery surrounding Shattered Space may remain unsolved for some time.
Starfield releases September 6 for PC and Xbox Series X/S.
