We’ve known for a while thatStarfieldwas getting its first expansion later this year, but tonight’sXbox Games Showcasegave us its first trailer. My main takeaway? That Bethesda are leaning into cosmic horror, as the trailer features landscapes that look like they’re on the other side of an Oblivion gate than anything I saw during my time withStarfield.

“A mysterious power stirs in the city of Dazra on House Va’Ruun’s hidden homeworld,” says the blurb on theStarfield site. “Investigate a frightening cosmic threat, explore a new planet, and find unique weapons, spacesuits, and gear in this all-new adventure.”

I think there’s probably an inverse relationship between how interesting a piece of DLC is, and how quickly a description of it mentions new “gear”.
