Encyclopedic overview
Starfield is a 2023 action role-playing game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. In the game, the player character joins a group of space explorers who must venture 50 light-years around the Sol System to acquire mysterious artifacts. The game features an open world in the form of a volume within the Milky Way galaxy, containing both fictional and non-fictional planetary systems.
Starfield takes place in a space-themed setting, and is the first new intellectual property developed by Bethesda in 25 years. It was described by its director, Todd Howard, as "Skyrim in space". Like Bethesda's previous games, it was powered by the Creation Engine, though it was heavily modified to accommodate the game's procedural generation system. Active development of the game started following the release of Fallout 4 in 2015.
