Starfield’s Shattered Space story expansion is launching this fall

Starfield’s Shattered Space story expansion will be released this fall, Bethesda has confirmed.

The game’s director, Todd Howard, provided a launch window for the DLC while discussing new features coming to the game in an interview with Kinda Funny Games on Monday.

“Shattered Space is in the fall, but we have a big update that’s coming really soon for Starfield,” he said. “There’s a lot of stuff… we redid the map stuff, so we have some city map stuff.”

The Shattered Space expansion was announced ahead of Starfield’s release last September and is included with the game’s more expensive editions.

Bethesda said in December that Shattered Space, its “first major expansion coming next year”, would feature “new story content, new locations, new gear, and much more”.

It also said that it planned to roll out significant new features and fixes for Starfield roughly every six weeks.

“The update that we having coming [next], I think it’s going to get announced in a few days this week, and then be up on Steam beta, has got some great stuff for ship building in it as well,” Howard added.

Elsewhere in the interview, he said Bethesda isn’t ruling out partnering with external developers on future games as it looks to find solutions to increase its output.
