Starfield Fans Are Convinced Shattered Space Will Focus On House Va'ruun

It's a pretty exciting time to be a Starfield fan at the moment, with Todd Howard revealing that the game's Shattered Space DLC will release this Fall, and that land vehicles are finally being added at some point in the near future. However, Bethesda may have also accidentally shown us something it didn't mean to in that same video, as there's a brief moment in which story details for Shattered Space may have been revealed.

First spotted by Reddit user Bradyla (thanks IGN), you can see various Bethesda developers working on Starfield on their computers at the 4 minute 43 second mark, which is where we see the game's first land vehicle in action. Eventually, we see a person in a red shirt doing what appears to be some environmental work on a planet, placing assets to add more detail.

A pair of stone pillars are then dragged onto the screen, and for the briefest of moments, we get to see the name of that particular asset. You need to zoom in pretty far and get a pair of reading glasses, but you can just about make out the word "Va'ruun" multiple times in the asset's name, suggesting that Shattered Space will heavily focus on the mysterious House Va'ruun that players know very little about in the base game.

Starfield fans will know that House Va'ruun is shrouded in mystery, mainly due to how secretive the organization is. You can run into agents throughout the game, who have been sent out to gather supplies not available to House Va'ruun, but the location of their homeworld - Va'ruun'kai - and the capital city of Dazra is never revealed in the base game.

Therefore, it does make a lot of sense that Shattered Space would delve into that mystery a little more, something that fans have been theorizing about ever since they rolled credits. While we still need official confirmation that Shattered Space will be all about House Va'ruun, this little discovery is pretty much the next best thing. Hopefully, when Xbox puts on its big summer showcase in June, we'll
