Starfield gameplay details revealed: Weapons, planets and alien minigames
Starfield was Bethesda’s centerpiece during the Xbox E3 2021 show, but the only gripe fans had was the lack of gameplay information. Lucky for them, Todd Howard has since revealed more hints about how it will work.
This is a never-before-seen world that Bethesda have created, but what do we know? We know that it’s going to be set in space – that’s been crystal clear from the get-go – but we’ve also been told the game will be a shooter, with one gun shown off in the conference on June 13. It remains nameless, for now. It had been described as a first-person shooter in the past, though Bethesda’s executive producer Todd Howard has suggested there will be more flexibility than first thought.
Starfield will be first-person and third-person
During an exclusive interview with theTelegraph, a UK-based newspaper, the man behind Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim spilled more details on Starfield. The article is under a paywall, so not every fan looking forward to the game’s launch may have seen it. He said: “I will say this: it is a first-person and third-person game, like our other ones. We like that style of gameplay. First-person for us is still our prime way of playing. So you can see the world and touch all those things. “It’s also a bit more hardcore of a role-playing game than we’ve done. It’s got some really great character systems – choosing your background, things like that. We’re going back to some things that we used to do in games long ago that we felt have really let players express the character they want to be. So I think when you see it being played, you would recognize it as something we made.”
