Starfield is an upcoming action role-playing video game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. The game was formally announced during Bethesda’s E3 Press Conference in 2018. The game was described as a wholly new, next-generation experience set in an entirely new space-themed world. It will be the first new intellectual property developed by Bethesda in over twenty-five years. The game is scheduled to be released on November 11, 2022 for Microsoft Windows and Xbox Series X/S.

Starfield is set in an area that extends outward from the Solar System for approximately 50 light-years called The Settled Systems. Around the year 2310, the two largest factions in the game, the United Colonies and Freestar Collective, engaged in the bloody Colony War. The game takes place 20 years after the events of the Colony War in which the major factions enjoy an uneasy peace. The player will assume the role of a customisable character who is a member of Constellation, an organization of space explorers. The game can be played in either first- or third-person perspectives.
