We know basic details for Starfield, It will be Bethesda’s first new game in 25 years, it looks like “Skyrim in space,” but that doesn’t mean Todd Howard and co are resting on their laurels. In a new interview with The Telegraph, the Starfield director released additional gameplay details which were not revealed in the cinematic trailer.
Supports First- and Third-Person Perspective
Howard confirmed that Starfield will be playable in both first- and third-person. “We like that style of gameplay,” Howard says. “First-person for us is still our prime way of playing. So you can see the world and touch all those things.”
There Will be Alien Races
Bethesda game worlds have always come with lively NPCs, to the point where leaving them out at release for Fallout 76 was hugely controversial. So it’s good to hear that you’re not the only person in Starfield. But beyond just maybe other humans, you might encounter alien species as well.
Howard didn’t say any of the alien races players might come face to face but says “There is a way we approach it,” that will meet with its semi-realistic take on sci-fi.
