Shattered Space will delve into the more supernatural aspects of this world, including several of the forces that control everything happening in space. Naturally, this content will also add numerous new mechanics eagerly awaited by players.

Players had been requesting the first official vehicle for the game since its inception, and this announcement coincided with its unveiling. The vehicle, named Rev-8, will possess thrusters that enable it to traverse any terrain and prevent it from plunging into the void.

The release date for Shattered Space will be next September 30th for Xbox Series S/X and PC. Thanks to the announcement of this content, Starfield could potentially regain all the players who left, frustrated by the game’s rather convoluted mechanics.

What players most anticipate from this expansion is learning more about the race of superior beings supposedly behind the creation of certain planets.

Gamescom 2024 not only revealed new gameplay and trailers but also confirmed several significant game release dates.

I'm a big fan of movies and videogames in general. I really love Pokémon and Godzilla. One of my favorite games is The Last of Us, Part II. A compelling and well-written story is always welcome.
