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.
As a non-american, the one thing I’m annoyed with is that fallout and Starfield games are always some sort of western. There are just too many references to that in the major plots in the game. It would really shake things up if they would look at different cultures from the real world and take inspiration from them.
