The highly anticipated “first post-launch growth” of the year, set to arrive later in 2023, will be followed by a steady stream of additional expansions from Bethesda Game Studios, with the developer committing to releasing new content annually. Although no concrete details are available regarding potential expansion names, a tantalizing hint has surfaced nonetheless, sparking curiosity about the possibilities.
Noted by Twitter user @bogorad222, ZeniMax Media, the parent company of Bethesda, has recently filed a trademark application for a mysterious entity dubbed “Starfield”. The trademark was filed earlier this month with the US Patent and Trademark Office, intended for use in online game software. While the submission lacks explicit clarity, it is likely that this ambiguous phrase is a title introducing the growth in question.
Revealed in the later stages of the primary narrative, the Starborn are an inscrutable group of multiverse-dwellers endowed with extraordinary abilities, enabling them to traverse diverse universes and realities with ease. The potential sequel or next DLC expansion of the space-faring RPG likely has much to offer in terms of storytelling, given the importance of “If” as its title suggests, which could lead to significant character roles.
The forthcoming expansion promises to transport players to an entirely fresh planet, unveiling a novel narrative centered around the enigmatic Faction of Home Va’ruun. According to Todd Howard, the growth and potential expansions are likely to mirror those of Fallout 3, which underwent significant evolution and expansion over time.
The highly anticipated game is set to release this year on both Xbox Series X/S and PC. Although the exact launch date remains uncertain for now, previous rumors suggested it could arrive as early as September.
