With the highly anticipated release of Starfield just around the corner, fans of Bethesda's intergalactic action RPG are eagerly anticipating the chance to explore the game's vast universe. However, the decision to exclude multiplayer has left some players disappointed, as they were hoping for a gaming experience that goes above and beyond the traditional single-player format. Despite this setback, there's still hope for those who crave a sci-fi multiplayer experience, as Bethesda has a history of listening to their community and could potentially add this feature in the future. As we approach the game's release date, fans are eagerly anticipating the upcoming Starfield Direct live-stream event, where they hope to gain more insight into the game's mechanics and storyline. While it's unlikely that Bethesda will announce the addition of multiplayer, the possibility of a multiplayer Starfield is still very much a topic of discussion within the gaming community.
The Future Of Starfield's Multiplayer Is Found In Two Scenarios
Bethesda has a history of creating successful multiplayer spinoffs based on their single-player titles. With the rise of online multiplayer games, both Fallout 76 and The Elder Scrolls Online were developed to cater to this growing trend. Although both games had a tumultuous start, they eventually found their footing and gained a loyal player base. Taking lessons from their previous multiplayer endeavors, Bethesda could create a similar spinoff for Starfield that would appeal to players who believe that an online multiplayer mode would enhance their gaming experience.
An online multiplayer spinoff of Starfield not only caters to fans who have been eagerly waiting for this mode, but also presents an opportunity to further expand on the game's universe and lore. Despite Bethesda's assurance that the world of Starfield is vast, players are always hungry for more information about the game's open-world RPGs. While it may take some time after the game's release, following in the footsteps of Fallout 76 and The Elder Scrolls Online could be a viable option for expanding the game's scope.
Alternatively, it's highly likely that the modding community will embrace Starfield. Skyrim, one of Bethesda's biggest hits, was never designed to be a multiplayer game, but it's now possible thanks to the game's modding community. With an almost infinite number of mods for Skyrim, Starfield could become the next big game that modders take by storm. While Bethesda could potentially create a multiplayer spinoff, modders are known for their speedy creations, so it wouldn't be surprising to see a Starfield multiplayer mod emerge shortly after the game's release in September.
With Starfield's full support for mods, the possibilities for expanding the game beyond Bethesda's initial claims are endless. As one of the most highly anticipated games of the year, Starfield's release in September will undoubtedly inspire mod creators to take the game to new heights. While some may be disappointed by the lack of multiplayer on launch, the modding community may provide a solution for fans yearning for a galactic adventure with friends. Mark your calendars for September 6th, when Starfield will launch on PC and Xbox Series X/S.
