Starfield Shattered Space deep dive promises a ‘new, handcrafted world’—and that’s great news

With only a couple of weeks left until the release of Shattered Space, the folks over at Bethesda released a deep dive into what Starfield players can expect from the new DLC. And the language used to describe House Va’Ruun’s new planet sounds like the medicine the game needs.

“We’re expanding Starfield‘s galaxy with a brand new, completely handcrafted world and deep new storyline,” said Tim Lamb, lead creative producer on Starfield, to open today’s video—and that word choice seems very intentional. Given so many of the criticisms leveled at the game involve drab, procedurally generated worlds and landscapes that quickly turn it from a space exploration odyssey into a fast travel simulator, a word like “handcrafted” naturally pricks my ears. I found Starfield more and more disappointing the longer I played, but that doesn’t mean it’s beyond repair.
