Starfield Officially Announced — June 10, 2018

After many years of speculation, Bethesda officially announced Starfield on June 10th, 2018. The game was revealed with a very short Announcement Teaser Trailer.

Bethesda has a long history with sci-fi games set in space. One early attempt was a failed attempt to created a game based on Traveller that eventually released as Delta V. Another early effort was a space combat game called The 10th Planet, which was cancelled before its release. Bethesda would have the rights to create games for the Star Trek franchise for a time, during which they published Star Trek: Legacy, Star Trek: Encounters, Star Trek: Tactical Assault, and Star Trek: Conquest. Todd Howard claimed that he pitched a Star Trek RPG during this time, but it was ultimately turned down. The idea for Starfield spent several years coalescing before ZeniMax moved to trademark it in 2013.
