Starfield continues its phenomenal success and dominating sales charts. And to make its game unforgettable, Bethesda has planned some nice surprises in its Santa sack. See instead:
As Bethesda’s newest gem, the studio takes extremely good care of Starfield. And for good reason, the American publisher knows that it can achieve even more with its RPG, at all levels. Moreover, as with Skyrim in its time, it did not take long for players to take ownership of the game and start modding it. A sign of a gargantuan lifespan? It’s getting there.
While Starfield has been available for less than a week, we can already see mods popping up on the internet. The proof with this modification which allows you to transform the police of the city of New Atlantis into stormtroopers. And that’s just the beginning. We know that Bethesda has big plans at this level and wants to allow its community to make big changes, going so far as to create planets. Based on this premise, in a recent interview with Famitsu, game director Todd Howard addressed this topic again, confirming that the full set of modding tools for Starfield would be available during the year 2024. These tools should allow players to “do almost everything,” he said
Once the game fully supports mods, you will be able to do almost anything, just like with our previous titles. Mods will be available next year, and we’re going to do it in a big way, because we love it too.
As you might expect, modding has always been a crucial part of Bethesda Game Studios’ titles, and it looks like Starfield will be no exception. Howard previously mentioned that the sci-fi RPG would be a “modder’s paradise,” while publishing head Pete Hines also suggested that the game’s modding tools would even allow players to create their own. own planets.
The Starfield game, which launched globally last week, is off to a roaring start. It has already surpassed 6 million players, becoming Bethesda’s biggest launch to date, and reaching a peak of over 1 million concurrent players across all platforms on its release day. This is madness.
Mad modding?
If we can add stormtroopers in a week, imagine what Starfield will be like in 1 year or even 2. We can already dream of a complete mod in the Star Wars universe, even if Disney risks not appreciate. The same goes for the majority of pop culture space universes, from Mass Effect to Star Trek to Dune. It is important to note that even after 21 years, Morrowind is still very popular and played thanks to the existence of mods. Bethesda is not fooled and knows that Starfield can potentially follow the same path. Involving the community and helping them write the future of the game is the best way to be appreciated by everyone, while building a solid and generally very dedicated fan base.
