Bethesda Promises Thrilling Starfield Updates for 2025, Bringing Relief to Fans Eager for Communication

Hola, gaming enthusiasts! If you’ve been on the edge of your seat waiting to hear what’s next for Starfield beyond the creative mods, I’ve got some news for you. Bethesda has teased us with promising developments, revealing that they’ve got “a lot of exciting things planned” for the game throughout this year.

While we have to admit, any news is better than none, it’s been quite a dry spell since Bethesda last treated us with the game’s first major DLC late last September. Apart from the occasional highlight of mods and player creations on their social media, the studio has maintained a pretty low profile about future updates.

Recently, Starfield’s official Twitter account shared a clip from NASA celebrating the presence of some community members at the IM-2 Athena lunar lander launch. Amidst the excitement, a curious fan, ‘Planetary Union Captain AuraWolf’, reached out for updates on what the Starfield community might expect soon. Bethesda’s response was both appreciative and hopeful: “We know you’re eager for an update, and we truly appreciate your passion for Starfield. The team has been hard at work, and while we’re not ready to share specific details just yet, we have a lot of exciting things planned this year that we can’t wait to talk about. We’re always listening and taking your feedback to heart. Thanks for being part of this journey with us.”

Over on the Starfield subreddit, the reaction to this news was predictably varied. Some users expressed enthusiasm for the studio’s communication efforts with the top post titled “Some communication at last”. The comments offered a mix of sarcasm, mild disappointment, and a sprinkle of optimism.

“Well, that’s better than absolute silence LOL,” one player quipped, while another remarked that it’s refreshing compared to fears of the game being neglected. Speculation is rife, with one user predicting a new expansion trailer in June, along with a possible PS5 announcement and a substantial update.

Any forthcoming expansion has its work cut out, needing to make a big impact to improve the game’s standing—especially after Shattered Space fell short of sparking a Starfield revival. Reflecting on the DLC, I noted that “Anyone returning to Starfield after all their time with this love-it-or-hate-it base game might find their opinions unchanged, despite what could have been a stellar comeback.” Yet, credit where it’s due, Shattered Space had its moments, like that intriguing mission battling ghostly parent figures.

So, while we wait with bated breath for Bethesda’s next moves, one thing’s certain: there’s still plenty of passion and dedication fueling Starfield’s journey.
