Bethesda blasts off for the unknown with the announcement of Starfield

Bethesda had already had a pretty solid show, teasing sequels to franchises such as Doom, Wolfenstein, and The Elder Scrolls during their E3 Showcase. But the publisher’s most curious announcement, and the one that really grabbed me, was the 69-second trailer for their new sci-fi opus, Starfield.

From the Stargate-style logo to the promise of a true space exploration RPG, Starfield could succeed where many have failed (I’m looking at you Destiny 2. And you No Man’s Sky. And of course you Mass Effect: Andromeda).

There was no gameplay, no date, no platforms… in fact… there was very little shown other than an alien planet and the beautiful little craft that seemed to open a warp field (or star field, if you will).

Butif you watch the trailer closely from 0:16 to 0:19, I think you can see the partial reflection of a word (“Conste” – constellation maybe?) Perhaps it is a clue that someone can use to dig up more information about the game, but for me, I’m ready to go into space.

Even if it doesn’t happen on this generation of consoles.
