Bethesda is making up for the radio silence that engulfed a lot of Starfield’s improvement by turning on the hype machine. It has simply launched The Settled Techniques, a compilation of three Starfield animated shorts that present the sport’s universe.

First, there’s Supra et Extremely, which is Latin for “Above and Past”. It reveals a little bit of the lifetime of a pilot who goes to New Atlantis to enlist within the Vanguard, The United Colonies’ army faction. This naturally gives excuse to point out off a neat little area battle. The animation feels a bit bare-bones at occasions, with a phase that hardly even options any coloring, however that’s clearly a stylistic alternative and it seems good general.

Then there’s The place Hope Is Constructed. It’s a cute little quick a couple of teen left orphaned by the warfare who saves an previous man and finally ends up getting much-needed assist in return. It’s a bit formulaic, but it surely does job of reassuring gamers that sure, there can be aspect quests.

Lastly, there’s The Hand That Feeds. It reveals a Neon Metropolis scoundrel having a fallout along with her companion following a change of coronary heart whereas robbing an worker of Ryuijin Industries, a mega-corporation from the planet Volii Alpha. The entire thing culminates along with her getting a job at her would-be sufferer’s megacorp. That is in all probability essentially the most fascinating of the bunch, because it hints that easy conditions can have numerous doable outcomes.

We nonetheless don’t know if any of those characters will present up within the sport. We additionally don’t know whether or not we’ll be seeing extra episodes of The Settled Techniques. Both method, we doubt these are the final promos we’ll see from Starfield.

Bethesda will doubtless preserve the hype machine in excessive gear till Starfield launches on September 6, 2023, on Xbox Collection X|S, and PC.
