Following its guarantees of considerable updates and enhancements coming to Starfield in 2024, Bethesda has general been suspiciously quiet on this entrance. The promised updates are, certainly, dropping in, however there’s been completely no information concerning the introduced Shattered Area DLC. Till now, that’s.

Because it at present stands, nearly nothing is understood about Starfield: Shattered Area, wanting the truth that it’s imagined to be coming… finally. As this DLC is included as a part of the sport’s Premium Version, we do know that the DLC would be the first of presumably at the very least a number of to return out, and with the most recent improvement on Starfield‘s Steam database one thing could also be afoot. As per SteamDB’s information, a mysterious new “Unknown App” was added to the itemizing only a few days again, and it very properly might be Shattered Area.

Starfield: Shattered Area might be on the horizon

If Bethesda is on the point of reveal a brand new content material pack for Starfield, the DLC is assured to be Shattered Area. Additional, now that this “Unknown App” has been added to the database, the chances are that there could also be a reveal coming in comparatively brief order. We do suggest conserving a pinch of salt helpful simply in case, nonetheless, because it additionally solely doable that that is not a brand new DLC, however one thing else solely. Like, for instance, the upcoming Creation Package modding software program improvement toolkit.

The notion that the mysterious Unknown App may be Creation Package 2 itself is doubtlessly corroborated by an earlier improvement, the place the Starfield group got here throughout a unusual sequence of SteamDB entries citing the addition of “ct_beta_verifiedcreator” entries. This will likely recommend that Bethesda is at present conducting a closed beta take a look at of Creation Package 2, and that it, too, could also be pending launch within the considerably close to future.

It’d be significantly bombastic, in fact, if Shattered Area and Creation Package 2 had been to launch in parallel. This may up the ante in two significant methods, each including a roster of official new content material to Starfield through a brand new growth pack and permitting the group to lastly go wild with its modding spree.

Granted, it’s not like modders haven’t already been doing a little spectacular issues with Starfield, even with out Creation Package out and about. Starfield: Royal Galaxy, for instance, is a phenomenally expansive and complete mod suite that modifications nearly all the things concerning the recreation, with plans to ship much more significant modifications down the road. The sky’s the restrict, because it had been, and provided that this is a recreation about house exploration, Bethesda could be remiss to not leverage its modding group as shortly as doable.
