Starfield 2: A Promising Sequel, But Years Away
Starfield's 2023 release has already sparked anticipation for a sequel. While Bethesda remains tight-lipped, former lead designer Bruce Nesmith offers an optimistic outlook. He confidently predicts Starfield 2 will be "one hell of a game," leveraging lessons learned from the first installment and building upon its existing foundation.
Nesmith, a veteran of Bethesda titles like Skyrim and Oblivion, highlights the advantages of sequel development, citing the iterative improvements seen in previous franchises. He believes Starfield's initial development, which involved creating numerous new systems and technologies, has laid the groundwork for a smoother, more enhanced sequel. He anticipates Starfield 2 will address player feedback and incorporate significant improvements.
"I’m looking forward to Starfield 2," Nesmith stated. "It’s going to address a lot of things people are saying...It will take what’s there and add a lot of new stuff, fixing problems." He draws parallels to franchises like Mass Effect and Assassin's Creed, where sequels significantly enhanced the original game's strengths.
However, a Starfield 2 release remains distant. Bethesda's commitment to annual story expansions for Starfield, coupled with the lengthy development cycles of The Elder Scrolls VI and Fallout 5, suggests a considerable wait. Considering The Elder Scrolls VI's projected five-year development, a Starfield 2 release before the mid-2030s seems unlikely.
Bethesda's Todd Howard emphasizes the company's dedication to quality over speed, aiming to deliver "meaningful moments" for fans. This deliberate approach, while extending the wait for new titles, assures a high standard of game development.
While Starfield 2 remains speculative, Bethesda's commitment to the franchise is clear. The recent release of the Shattered Space DLC demonstrates ongoing support for the game, hinting at further DLC and the eventual arrival of a highly anticipated sequel.
