Those who did n’t buy one ofStarfield ’s extra editions can either advance to the Digital Deluxe adaptation or purchaseShattered Spaceseparately upon its release .
As per the original promulgation , Shattered Spacewill bring young story content , locations , gear , and more to the secret plan . What this Modern story will entail has yet to be revealed , but many conceive it will focus on House Va’ruun , the third interstellar government to have formed in the Settled Systems who were mention often throughoutStarfield ’s primary crusade , but their base of operations was not seen . The gravid Serpent - hero-worship house has a main office on the planet Va’ruun’kai , but even the whizz organization for this is obscure , with House Va’ruun prevent its coordinate from its worshiper to avoid anyone get a line it . This would seem like an obvious option forShattered place , open up up a whole new star system to research while dilate upon pre - establish lore .
Starfield ’s upcoming Shattered Space DLC has the chance to avoid the plot ’s most annoying way out by being a smaller , more condensed story .
Shattered Space Will Launch In Fall 2024
Almost A Year After Starfield’s Release Date
In an interview with Greg Miller ofKinda Funny Games , Bethesda ’s Todd Howard stated thatShattered Spacewill be released in the downslope of 2024 . This will be almost an intact year sinceStarfield ’s original launch on September 6 , 2023 - or September 1 for those who pre - ordered the Deluxe or Constellation Edition - which is likely quite a piece later than players were expecting .
Starfield ’s ending fundamentally control player entering a fresh plot positive - esque loop in which their fictitious character is converted as a Starborn upon find the Unity and crossing over into another dimension . This allows for apparently endless gameplay , as players can set about over and over and play the game other than each time .
While constituent of each new universe are dissimilar , and players can even opt to cut the master movement entirely on some playthroughs , many were promising that Bethesda would enclose raw content to the game sooner rather than after , especially with complaints that whileStarfielddoes let playersexplore over 1000 planetsacross 100 Star Systems , this scale did n’t always act in the game ’s favor as while the story locations were well crafted by Bethesda , most of theprocedurally generated satellite were largely empty . Therefore , while there is seemingly eternal replayability on offer , only the most hardcoreStarfieldfans seem to be bind around for this , with97 % of the game ’s player count on Steam drop off in just five calendar month after its release(via . Steam Charts ) .

Starfield musician can accept more side missions across the Settled Systems than before while they await for the upcoming Shattered Space DLC .
Is Bethesda Releasing Shattered Space Too Late?
Other Titles Have Seen A Resurgence Due To DLC Releases Years Later
This poses the question of whether a year ’s wait with no major new content is too long , and if Bethesda ’s leaving it too recently to releaseShattered Space . While modernistic AAA secret plan development takes time , in the past when a DLC enlargement has been announced as part of a pre - order deal , it normally releases within months of the game ’s launching .
It ’s potential that while thespian may cast off off after completingStarfield ’s independent safari , the new expansion could contribute them back disregardless of the wait , much asCyberpunk 2077’sPhantom Libertydid last yr when it launched 3 years after the pedestal game . UnlikeStarfield , however , Cyberpunk 2077had a complete overhaul to some of its nub gameplay shop mechanic at that time and was in a far undecomposed state than it was upon its initial launching , giving those who had n’t bought the expansion a reason to find fault up the title as well , so the number of players who do return to Bethesda ’s place - RPG in Fall 2024 might not be as large .
Starfield ’s upcoming Shattered Space DLC is exciting , but many things need to be done to the base game first to make it a better experience for all .

Will Starfield’s Creation Kit Release Before Shattered Space?
Past Creation Kits Let Players Access Bethesda-Supported Mods On Console And PC
There has been a revitalization in other Bethesda titles recently , namely theFalloutseries , due to the success of Amazon ’s live - action adaptation bringing in fresh audiences and inspiring past players to refund to titles such asFallout 4,Fallout New Vegas , andFallout 76 , resulting in some of the best player consider these titles have seen in year . One of the main reasonableness some of these titles have had an alive player base during this fourth dimension is that players can pick it up and delight new content through rooter - made mods , with the Bethesda - supported Creation Club providing plenty of young content from the residential area and making it easily approachable for players on both console and microcomputer .
In fact , when Bethesda harbinger the next - gen patch forFallout quarto capitalize on the show ’s popularity , itincluded several free Creation Club itemswith new ornamentation , weapons , quest , and dress to give a large amount of its returning role player a new experience on top of the distinctive promised enhancement one would await from a next - gen re - freeing . Bethesda has annunciate the Creation Kit forStarfield , which will do the same affair , but unlikeShattered Space , there is n’t a release windowpane for this . If Bethesda is be after to found its Creation Kit in the metre beforeShattered Space , this could help keep more players reelect in the meantime , or provide even more to research when they do return forShattered Space , ensuring they cohere around for prospicient than the DLC ’s campaign .
On PC , modders have already been adding Modern contentto the game , from the ability to dally as specificStar Warscharacters and fly iconic starships from that series - outside of the ships players are building usingStarfield ’s in - game ship - builder - or even get any creature across the Settled Systems tobecome a pet and follow playersinto struggle , even terrormorphs . In the case of the latter , the modder even stated that while at the import they are using console command , there will be room to expand upon this mechanic when the Creation Kit is released . Hopefully , Bethesda will release the Creation Kit soon to give instrumentalist a reason to keep bring back toStarfieldon both consoles and PC while they wait forShattered blank .
