Starfieldhas been Bethesda’s grandest project in the modern era of gaming. The title reaches new heights of open-world exploration and asks players to explore the emptiness of space at their own pace.
The game’s upcoming DLCShattered Spacewill arrive sometime in the Fall of 2024 and will build on the foundations of everything that made the base game enjoyable and engaging. On that note, fans are eager to see how the expansion will switch things up a bit.
Starfield’s Clever Take on Creating Ambiance
A big part of what makesStarfieldso immersive is how the emptiness of space feels lively. When players are boarding a new ship that’s abruptly flying around without necessarily being piloted, objects in the ship fly around nonchalantly.

This creates an atmosphere that feels like a breath of fresh air in an otherwise mundane space where nothing is happening. This has been pointed out by users like Mr.Starfield and Roberto Garrido on Twitter who talk about how they expect things like these from the DLC.
I’m always finding something new in this game. Can’t wait for Shattered Space
It’s been almost a year sinceStarfieldcame out, and players continue to find new things. Hopefully, this will continue to be a phenomenon as players continue to explore the galaxy.
Additionally, the studio will likely try new ways of designing immersion and environmental storytelling. This is something the team has tried before through various games, andStarfieldis no exception.
Shattered Space Will Introduce Players to New Stories
About a month ago,Starfield’sofficial blogpostgave players further insight into what they can expect from the upcoming DLC:
When a distress signal originating from a derelict star station leads you on a path to Va’ruun’kai, you’ll begin to uncover the secrets surrounding the followers of the Great Serpent. Explore a new location, take on new enemies and experience the story of House Va’ruun when Shattered Space launches later this year.
A mention of new locations and enemies can indicate Bethesda’s vision to create a sense of newness that keeps the expansion unique, and not something that feels like a mod done by the community.

Unfortunately, in its present state, the game still has a lot of features that feel a bit broken and bugs thathave been ruining the experience for many players. Hence, players are not only expecting new content but also looking forward to Bethesda’s focus on polish and quality.
