Todd Howard wants Yearly Expansions for Starfield

[John Elden Ring]

During an interview today with the YouTube channel MrMattyPlays, Todd Howard gave us some new info about the plan for annual expansions in Starfield

During an hour-long interview on the MrMattyPlays channel, Bethesda Game Studios head and industry legend Todd Howard talked about several topics. Among those was Starfield and the studio’s plans for their newest IP. A few juicy tidbits of information were given for Shattered Space, the game’s “first” story expansion, and the plans for 2025 and beyond.


Shattered Space, unlike the majority of the main campaign, is set in one city. Howard said that the game would be similar in scope to Fallout 4’s Far Harbor DLC. That DLC was roughly 7 to 10 hours long if you mainlined it or around 20 hours to complete it 100%.


The second item was the confirmation that, as of now, Bethesda Game Studios are planning to annualize story expansions for Starfield. This would be a first for the company and explains why they stated that Shattered Space was the “first” story expansion for the game when it was first announced when the Deluxe Edition pre-orders went live before launch.

Fake stats from the quick resume bug (it counts all the hours even when Xbox is off). It's easy by watching achievements, it doesn't match.

Three big franchises. All three they've ran into the ground.
Fuck you, Tod. Sit on a fencepost

If shatter space is good they should keep doing them.

[Would_you_kindly]

Wants to carry on doing f76 extensions aswell instead of making a proper new fallout with a better engine & a good story

And they didn't even create Fallout.

Those who destroy, rarely create.

As decent as New Vegas is, Bethesda really did ruin Fallout.
Call me a Boomer, but the magic in Fallout just isn't there. It literally is Elder Scrolls with Guns. I will die on that hill.

Also... Mr. Matty, what an pandering, little roach.

Bethesda made fallout what it is today. If they never bought it, it would of been dead. The 3d open world approach gave the ip mass appeal. Now it's a big franchise.

Obsidian made NV, the only 3D fallout worth a damn. 3, 4 and 76 were shooters in a post nuke America, and had little, if anything to do with fallout.

Good I hope they stay on that garbage ass engines for the sandwiches
