Bethesda unveiled a fresh trailer yesterday for Starfield, highlighting new gameplay moments and announcing a concrete release window for the game. The spotlight fell on a September 6 launch date, a detail that fans quickly highlighted across gaming communities in North America. Portal PC Gamer offered a deep dive into the footage, pulling out several noteworthy elements that shape expectations for the title’s scope and mechanics.
- First up, the trailer reveals a showcase of collectible helmets that players can locate throughout their journeys. The array includes an explorer’s helmet, a mercenary visor, a navigator’s gear, a pirate’s helm, a pilot’s headpiece, and even a space trucker helmet. Each piece hints at distinct roles, environments, and aesthetic options players can pursue as they build their character’s identity in Starfield.
- There’s flexibility in how players experience the game’s environment: the helmet display can be disabled in areas where breathable air is abundant, allowing for a more immersive and unobstructed view during exploration.
- Helmets carry meaningful statistics that affect survivability and exploration. They provide protection across physical, energy, and electromagnetic damage categories, and also offer resistance against radiation, extreme heat, corrosive conditions, and toxic fumes, underscoring the survival-oriented design of planetary expeditions.
- Loot collection follows a familiar pattern reminiscent of Fallout 4, with a small on-screen window appearing to confirm acquisitions, keeping players focused on exploration and combat rather than inventory micromanagement.
- The video briefly displays a level 75 enemy encounter, suggesting the progression system will push players toward high-end challenges, and that the protagonist can potentially reach similarly advanced power and equipment levels as the game advances.
- One notable technical detail is that the build shown does not support ultra-wide monitors, which results in black bars along the sides of the screen during gameplay sequences.
Starfield’s full presentation is scheduled for June 11, with the game slated for PC and Xbox Series X/S releases, signaling continued cross-platform momentum and expectations for a robust, expansive sci-fi universe that leverages Bethesda’s open-world framework.
