Ex-Bethesda Dev Calls Starfield 2 'One Hell of a Game'

Former Bethesda designer Bruce Nesmith believes that Starfield 2 has the potential to be a remarkable game, despite the mixed reception of the original Starfield. He emphasizes that previous titles like Skyrim benefited from the experience gained in earlier games, suggesting that a sequel to Starfield would be able to rectify many issues and enhance the gameplay with new features. However, he notes that it may take several years before fans can enjoy this sequel, leaving questions about its community support and development timeline.

While there’s no confirmed release date for Starfield 2, it is expected to be developed after the upcoming titles like Fallout 5 and The Elder Scrolls 6, potentially making its debut several years down the line.

Starfield, launched by Bethesda, marks the company's first new IP in over 25 years, blending role-playing elements with space exploration. Despite its ambitious scope, many fans have voiced disappointment over the game’s execution. This debate has only intensified with the release of its first expansion, Shattered Space, which did not significantly enhance the game’s reputation.
