Starfieldis the next major RPG from Bethesda Game Studios. While it’s still over a year away, Bethesda shared new videos on Thursday, giving players a better idea of some of the locations they’ll be exploring. There’s three separate videos narrated by design director Emil Pagliarulo, covering the locations ofAkila,NeonandNew Atlantis.
Akila is described as the capital city of the Free Star Collective, a “loose confederation” of three star systems that believe in personal freedom. Outside of the walled city, there are deadly alien creatures known as Ashta, which are a cross between wolves and velociraptors. Neon is a “pleasure city” that was originally a fishing outpost built by the Xenofresh corporation. This corporation discovered a drug called Aurora, which is now legal only on Neon. Finally, there’s New Atlantis, capital of the United Colonies, which is the most powerful political and military faction in-game.
