Starfield – “Some Really Good Updates” Will be Announced “Soon,” Todd Howard Says

Bethesda Game Studios has promised some significant updated for Starfield in 2024, from “new ways” of travelling to new gameplay features to the launch of its first expansion, Shattered Steel. Thus far, however, more than a quarter of our way into the year, details on those updates have remained scant, even if the space RPG has received a couple of patches.

According to game director Todd Howard, however, Bethesda will soon be making announcements on that front. Speaking in a recent interview with IGN, Howard said that Bethesda Game Studios is continuing to work on Starfield, for which “some really good updates” will be announced “soon”.

“We’re doing a lot of Starfield work as well,” he said. “So we have some really good updates that are going to get announced soon for that game. So, a lot going on here.”

Howard also briefly touched on other things that are in the works at Bethesda Game Studios, including ongoing support for Fallout 76 (which has recently seen a significant uptick in player engagement), as well as development on The Elder Scrolls 6, which entered full production last year.

Howard has previously also said that after The Elder Scrolls 6, the next game Bethesda Game Studios works on will be Fallout 5.

As for when Starfield’s upcoming updates and content additions will be detailed, the Xbox Games Showcase is coming up in June- perhaps we’ll hear something then, if not earlier.

Starfield is available on Xbox Series X/S and PC.
