A second Starfield could surpass the original game, but only if it's willing to reimagine what being ‘Starfield’ actually means.

With the April 2025 release of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, it feels like the era of Starfield is coming to an end. The latest original IP from Bethesda Game Studios, Starfield, got a considerably more lukewarm response than anyone could have predicted, and, at this point, it feels like Microsoft and Bethesda are trying to brush it under the rug. A rumored Starfield PS5 release was recently reinforced by a trusted insider, but after that, it seems like Bethesda’s premiere space-exploration RPG will end up being grounded.

    Over 6000 hours in Fallout 4.

    Less than 300 in Starfield.

    I played FO4 today.

    I haven’t played Starfield in nearly a year.

    Good riddance to Starfield. Fast-track Fallout 5. (I know they won’t.)
