User blog:Atvelonis/Starfield Announced at E3 2018

After years of wild speculation based largely off of trademark renewals, Bethesda Game Studios has finally announced at E3 2018 that Starfield is in development. The first new IP from the company in 25 years, Starfield appears to be a space-based science-fiction title, although Bethesda has been highly secretive about further details.

The trailer released at E3 didn't show much more than a planet and a spaceship, but it has long-time Bethesda fans very excited all the same. Executive producer Todd Howard mentioned in a later interview that the game was something that Bethesda felt "uniquely positioned to pull off," also commenting that the project was something "extremely ambitious."

No specific release date for the game was given, but considering the average gap between major titles from Bethesda Game Studios in the past, many fans think it is likely that we will see the game fairly soon.
