Bethesda, the game developer most famous for the Skyrim and Fallout series of role-playing games, recently announced 'Starfield,' the company's first new IP in over 25 years. Bethesda was recently acquired by Microsoft for the purpose of joining the studio with Xbox. As such, the Starfield game will be an Xbox console exclusive, though it will also be released on PC via the Microsoft Xbox store.
In Starfield, players create a customized character that acts as a silent protagonist. This means, while characters in the game will talk to the player, the player's dialogue will be implied rather than explicitly shown on screen. Starfield includes various gameplay elements such as leveling up, shooting combat, space exploration, colony building, and more. The game is coming to Xbox in 2023.
