With only a few weeks left, everybody and their canine is speaking about Starfield (if “woof” is canine-speak for “I’m actually wanting ahead to Starfield“). Earlier than then, we’re nonetheless being drip-fed bite-sized bits of data, together with the story previous to the sport itself.

Over on the developer’s web site, you’ll be able to scroll all the way down to a timeline of the most important political occasions that happen earlier than we be part of issues. It begins within the 12 months 2050, when people take their first steps on Mars.

Simply 50 years later, we start dwelling in house. Then, after only a few extra years, we attain Alpha Centauri, the closest star system to Earth (about 4.3 mild years away from us).

After that, the timeline provides a quick rundown of the principle occasions that happen earlier than Starfield kicks off. For instance, there’s a little bit little bit of details about the United Colonies, the settling of a few of the main cities, some wars. All that good things.

We’ve actually left Earth behind

The timeline ends when Starfield begins. At this level, we are able to’t actually say what is going to occur within the story. All we are able to safely say is that we’ll seemingly be taking part in a giant half in it. It’s additionally fairly optimistic of Bethesda to say that humanity will have the ability to step on our nearest planet in lower than 30 years. I imply, it’s doable, however who is aware of what the way forward for real-life house journey will likely be?

That’s why we now have science fiction. A minimum of this manner we are able to soar into the moon boots of those that will likely be exploring faraway galaxies whereas, again right here on Earth, many people are nonetheless questioning what the hell Threads even is.

Starfield launches on September 6 for PC and Xbox Sequence X|S. It’ll even be obtainable on Recreation Move from day one.
