Starfield is Bethesda Game Studios' first new IP in decades, a space-set open-world RPG. Players join an exploration group called Constellation in the 2330s, discovering hundreds of planets, building and customizing their own ships, and following a mysterious story about the origins of humanity. It brings Bethesda's signature open-ended exploration and quest design to a space setting, known for its ship-building system and mix of procedural and hand-crafted planets.
