The next big single-player game from Skyrim and Fallout maker Bethesda Game Studios will be Starfield, the company’s first new IP in a staggering 25 years.
Bethesda’s charismatic director and executive producer Todd Howard announced Starfield at E3. “We also thought since we’re all here together tonight and it’s so special maybe we’d do something a little different too,” he said on stage, “and tell you what we have coming beyond this year, in the future. We have also been working on a brand new, next-generation, single-player game, but this one is in an all-new epic franchise. Our first wholly original franchise in 25 years. We’re excited to announce our next adventure.”
We were then shown a Starfield teaser trailer where sunlight slowly appeared from behind a planet in space, producing the bright ring effect you see during a solar eclipse, before the camera panned down to reveal a satellite, and then warped our view to blackout. Then the Starfield logo appeared.
