We’re now down to a little over a month before cosmic tumblers align, the heavens burst forth accompanied by an angelic fanfare, and Bethesda Game Studios’ magnum opus, “Starfield,” triumphantly arrives on September 6, 2023.
Delivered by the award-winning creators of “The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim” and ‘Fallout 4,” “Starfield” is a next-generation role-playing video game blossoming amid the shimmering stars and developed on a staggering scale where players can easily lose themselves (and weeks!) exploring over 1,000 planets, moons, and asteroids.
As a lead-up to the long-awaited debut, Bethesda Game Studios is inviting fans to spend some time with the expansive scope of people and cultures in “Starfield” with “The Settled Systems – A Starfield Animated Anthology.” This trio of animated shorts takes us to three of “Starfield’s” main cities as we ride along with a delivery pilot in New Atlantis seeking the thrilling life of the elite, visit a stranded orphan searching for a way to escape Akila City and see a pair of street urchins struggling to survive in the bowels of Neon. Check them all out and try to hold fast just one more month!
