↖ Character Creation

Immerse yourself in the year 2330 as a member of the Constellation, the last group of space explorers seeking rare artefacts across over 100 star systems and more than a thousand planets. With diverse environments, from barren worlds to resource-rich ones, your character-creation experience is extensive. Customize body types, skin tones, hairstyles, eye colour, and facial features. Select from various backgrounds, offering unique perks and skills, and choose traits that grant advantages and disadvantages. Forge a character that resonates with your playstyle and storytelling preferences.

 

↖ Spaceship Customization

The game's focus on space travel introduces your very own spaceship. Experience an exciting aspect of the game by customizing your spacecraft. Blend and match modular segments and parts to construct a ship that aligns with your vision. Witness impressive examples like the quirky Mech ship, showcasing the creativity the game allows. But that's not all – besides spaceships, you can construct outposts on newly discovered planets, creating operational bases for research, resource gathering, and more. Hire personnel to manage these outposts while you're away, adding depth to your cosmic adventure.

 

↖ Exploration and Combat

Early gameplay clips raised concerns about combat, but recent footage shows significant improvements. Engage in ship battles that offer thrilling visuals and more satisfying gunplay. The bullet-sponge enemies are replaced by enhanced weapon feedback and environmental interactions. Engage in ship-to-ship battles, a highlight for space combat fans, promising intense and visually impressive clashes. The universe is home to multiple factions, such as the Crimson Fleet (space pirates), the Freestar Collective (traders of illicit goods), and the United Colonies (core world protectors). Choose your allegiances wisely as these factions compete and conflict.

 

↖ Replayability and Decisions

Starfield embraces replayability through its myriad options and decisions. The intricate character creator fosters diverse playthroughs, while the deep gameplay mechanics encourage varied approaches. Align with different factions, each with distinct goals, forging your own path through the cosmos. With the richly detailed universe, comprehensive character creation, and abundance of choices, expect a unique experience with each playthrough.
