It might be Fallout hype season over at Bethesda HQ thanks to the Amazon Prime TV show, but plenty of focus is still on the company's other games and IP at the moment. The Elder Scrolls 6 is the next biggie in the pipeline, but Starfield is still being worked on at Bethesda Game Studios.
In a new interview with IGN, Bethesda's Todd Howard gave a small update on the future of its space-faring Xbox RPG. To cut to the chase, "really good updates" are being worked on at BGS - updates "that are going to get announced soon".
We don't get any more detail than that from this interview, but this could point towards many different Starfield-related things. Each month, the team keeps dropping feature-packed updates, and of course - we have that much-awaited story expansion coming sometime in the near future.
Aside from Starfield, Todd did also drop a brief mention about the upcoming Elder Scrolls sequel. The Bethesda bigwig reiterated that "our focus as far as new development right now is Elder Scrolls 6", so don't expect any major BGS Fallout projects to be pipping The Elder Scrolls 6 to the finish line.
Excited for the future in regards to Bethesda Game Studios? Let us know what you're hyped for down below.

And with those updates offer Amazon the opportunity for a TV show while at it.
@OnlyGaming I was thinking the same thing. Starfield is less cheeky than Fallout, but they could still make it entertaining
More than likely be a trailer at the showcase for the expansion
I'm glad they are still updating it. I'm excited to check them out and the expansion.
What is the point in playing games when they release, they aren't finished products! I finished this game last year, why did I bother, as these updates are wasted on people that bought the game early... Not making the same mistake again! I want to play BG3, DD2, but will wait a couple of years til the games are actually finished!!
I don't think you can 'fix' Starfield without adding so much it borderline becomes a new game. The gameplay is just that watered down from Fallout 4.
Rumor has it after the expansion it will get announced for PS5. Still not sure I believe it. But then again i wouldn’t be surprised when and if it does happen. I didn’t get SF as it’s not something that ever grabbed my attention. However i hope we see more of avowed with a release date at the June Showcase.
I've joined the hype and start up Fallout 4 again but really struggling to play it after 100 hours on Starfield recently. It's basically the exact same game, albeit implemented much better. I think Starfield has left me burnt on Bethesda style games. Not convinced I'd even bother with another Starfield, Fallout or Elder Scrolls at this point. I guess it'll be another 6 or 7 years until the next Elder Scrolls so maybe I'll be ready to go back again?
I was hyped for Star Field but so far just haven't really gone into it. I didn't dislike what I saw at the start but it also didn't quite grab me. Might be partially because as we increasingly get plugged into the machines irl, sci Fi settings get less and less appealing to me where it used to be my bread and butter. All the dire warnings of the classic sci Fi writers of the past packaged as fiction are now just miserable reality. So sci Fi just feels like a recreation of real world suckage but with space ships.
@Dimey Starfield was and is a finished product. There is a beginning of the game, and end of game, plus a continual New Game+. Not only that, its a free game on Gamepass. The rest of the stuff they are doing is all freebies. Calm down
@TheCrafter1578 It’s a terrible finished product. Local maps and planetary vehicles won’t fix the awful writing and boring characters.
@CaptainCluck It's not terrible in the slightest. That Kong game and Gollum game were terrible.
@CaptainCluck
It’s a terrible finished product
The game is not terrible by any metric(nor it is perfect for that matter). However, it's abundantly clear that the only terrible thing is to apparently not hate on Starfield at every opportunity.....
I really enjoyed Starfield and it's got some great quests, my only real complaint is the lack of incentive to explore outside of the few hand crafted areas. That said I'll be jumping back in when the updates and dlc come
The story is the main issue. Doubt they have it in them any more.
@Dimey
Yeah, I've been thinking the exact same thing... Play after 6-mths to 1-year later when cheaper and you can track the level of bug fixes.
I’m struggling to complete it because I got bored of collecting rocks. Also 1000s of planet but zero intelligent life forms 🤔
@shoeses fallout 4 sucks, 3 and new Vegas are where its at
@StonyKL no, lol. Fallout 4 is much better at all things, including writing & quests. I wouldn’t compare the two.
I’m just waiting on the DLC.
They need to start filling up those planets with cities and settlements because there's not much point exploring them as they are now
you can always trust Todd Howard to tell you the truth
like when he said starfield was pc optimised, with a non native, not 4k and changing the resolution of your entire pc to match starfields resolution
truly a great guy
Does that mean we'll get..... Different pictures on the loading screen when landing on a planet? Or when leaving a planet? Or when entering your ship? Or when leaving your ship?.... Nah, I'll stick to the incredible No Man's Sky. Cheers 🍻
Just started playing this game, really like it.
