Starfield is currently the talk of the town following its big release date reveal at Xbox and Bethesda’s E3 showcase. The upcoming PC game's trailer is an ambient affair that communicates the wanderlust of space travel, though it doesn't tell us much about the gameplay. We see some in-game footage that shows off some visual prowess but little that gives a sense of how it'll feel to play.
Bethesda has given a few interviews that touch on how Starfield plays without giving too much away as part of the space game's press cycle. Speaking to the Washington Post, Bethesda executive Ashley Cheng describes it as "the Han Solo simulator" where you "get in a ship, explore the galaxy, do fun stuff".
Todd Howard gives slightly more away, telling The Telegraph that Starfield is, in some ways, a return to the studios' roots. "It's also a bit more hardcore of a role-playing game than we've done," he says. "It's got some really great character systems – choosing your background, things like that. We're going back to some things that we used to do in games long ago that we felt have really let players express the character they want to be. So I think when you see it being played, you would recognise it as something we made."
