Starfield expands its horizons: Explore Va'ruun'kai in Shattered Space!

The adventure continues in Starfield with the arrival of its first major expansion, Shattered Space - launching on September 30th. Find out more about the upcoming DLC with a Deep Dive video while you wait!

Following the game's runaway success last year, Bethesda Game Studios is unveiling an all-new hand-crafted world and story line centered on the Va'ruun house, a mysterious faction cut off from the rest of the galaxy.

In Shattered Space, you take on the role of a privileged member of this faction and explore Va'ruun'kai, a strange world of alien landscapes and gravitational anomalies. The plot plunges you into a power struggle between the different Houses, amid the fallout from an experiment gone wrong, leading to a rip in space-time. As you explore the ruins of Dazra, the capital of House Veron, you'll have to uncover the secrets of this catastrophe and navigate between political tensions and intense battles against human enemies... and much worse.

The most promising aspect? The expansion relies on edgier gameplay, with intense, close-quarters combat. We'll find ourselves at the heart of political struggles between the different factions on Va'ruun, as we try to understand what's really happened on this planet. And apparently, our choices will have an impact on the future of the entire galaxy.

Sounds pretty exciting, doesn't it? The DLC will not be available individually on Gamesplanet until its official release on September 30th. However, it's included by ordering the Premium Edition (which includes the base game, Shattered Space, a Constellation Appearance Pack, the digital art book and the Starfield soundtrack) or the Premium Upgrade if you already have the base game.
