More Information from Starfield: Shattered Space
Bethesda has committed to a September 30 release date for Starfield: Shattered Space during Gamescom Opening Night Live in late August 2024. Since then, the studio has been teasing the expansion by consistently sharing new details about it on social media.
On a Twitter post, Bethesda shared a brief content outline of Starfield’s first expansion. The developer hence revealed that Shattered Space will feature over 50 new locations, in addition to name dropping two more enemy types that the DLC will introduce: Redeemed and Vortex Horrors. The tweet also saw Bethesda mention that Shattered Space will debut new grenades that will be craftable from “gross” organic materials, without elaborating on the matter.
The upcoming DLC will also expand on Starfield’s Crimson Fleet, Spacers, and Va’ruun Zealots, as per the same source, which reveals that these three factions will all be featured in some new content that players will be able to discover during planetary exploration segments. While the wording of that statement implies Bethesda was referring to randomly generated points of interest, the studio hasn’t outright confirmed that.
Either way, it seems likely that a big chunk of the DLC content will be Zealot-focused, as Bethesda itself has repeatedly confirmed that Shattered Space will expand on House Va’ruun. While the specifics of how it plans to do so are unclear, the developer’s previously shared footage from the expansion has suggested that players may get a chance to visit House Va’ruun’s home world over the course of the Shattered Space storyline.
Shattered Space can currently be pre-ordered for $29.99. Starfield players who bought the Digital Premium Edition of the game have already obtained access to the expansion as part of their purchase. And while Bethesda’s recent teasers have suggested that the DLC will be fairly massive, the studio has yet to say anything about how long the expansion might take to beat. In the meantime, what’s clear already is that Shattered Space won’t be the game’s only expansion, not least because Bethesda has previously stated that it wants to keep supporting Starfield for much longer than its previously released single player RPGs.
