How Starfield Can Be Different Than The Outer Worlds & No Man’s Sky
After a long period of silence, Besthesda Softworks, the studio behind the Elder Scrolls franchise, has finally released a new trailer for Starfield, an original science-fiction RPG set to be released sometime in late 2022. The premise of Starfield, far-future astronauts exploring the frontier of space, is very similar to the narratives and gameplay modes of The Outer Worlds and No Man's Sky. To make its newest RPG franchise distinct from these two IPs, Besthesda will most likely need to implement gameplay mechanics wildly different from those in No Man's Sky, along with an exploration-friendly game world that dwarfs The Outer Worlds in size.
The first teaser trailer for Starfield was released at E3 2018, promoting a brand new science fiction game IP set to join Besthesda's signature Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. The cinematic footage, concept art, and screen-captures for Starfield depict a science fiction setting that blends the omnipresent space travel of Star Wars or Alien with the grounded spacecraft designs of The Martian or the Interstellar movies. In the universe of Starfield, humanity seems to have spread across the galaxy, colonizing many different worlds in different star-systems; at the same time, the spaceships, space-stations, space-suits, and cargo seen in Starfield media resemble advanced versions of NASA technology, while the Constellation organization player characters belong to seems to be an idealistic group of Star Trek-esque explorers pushing the boundaries of human knowledge.
