During the Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase 2022 livestream, Bethesda head honcho Todd Howard gave a presentation to showcase a ton of Starfield gameplay.

In Starfield, you basically explore planets, kill aliens, join up with factions and constellations to suit your agenda, and fight a ton of space pirates. The game is clearly going for a serious-but-pulp style 40s space adventure in first-person view, and even features some zero-gravity segments. You can also create and build your own spaceship and fly out to space to explore or just murder things in your path.

Sure, Todd Howard may be blowing the game’s length and scope out of proportion like in his past presentations, but so far it’s looking very impressive and sleek. Who wouldn’t say no to Skyrim with space guns and aliens?

Starfield will be out for Xbox Series and PC in 2023.
