Navigating the Cosmos: The Starfield: Shattered Space Expansion Unveiled

The gaming universe is about to change forever. Watch out for the Shattered Space: Starfield expansion. Later this year will be a massive expansion for the gaming universe. Indeed, the anticipated Starfield expansion, by Bethesda Game Studios, who brought you The Elder Scrolls and Fallout, will provide a rich fusion of detailed storytelling and new gameplay. It will disrupt space exploration RPGs altogether. Here is what we know about it so far.

What Starfield: Shattered Space Brings to the Table

The Lore of a Lost Civilization

Shattered Space, the new expansion for Starfield: Dissolution, will have a special zone – a visit to the planet Va’ruun’kai, the homeworld of the mysterious House Va’ruun, a faction serving the Great Serpent, the World-Spawn, the God. Explore a system that is (more or less) isolated from the rest of the known Fate Worlds. It all started when the Aeon Paradox Device was activated, blowing a hole in spacetime. That’s where your adventure begins…

Launching Into the Unknown: Release Date Revealed

Put it on your calendar for 30 September 2024: Starfield: Shattered Space is coming to Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC (Steam and the Microsoft Store), bringing a darker twist to Starfield’s boundless galaxy.

Exploring Without Emptying Your Wallet

This too is fully accessible – Microsoft priced the trip to Va’ruun’kai at $29.99, with price-drop options for shoppers with good deals. But one must own Starfield first – the gateway to a great adventure.

Premium Access to the Stars

If you’ve bought Starfield’s Premium Edition, you get Shattered Space thrown in for free, with additional bonus content on account of you paying the premium price.

Does Xbox Game Pass Hold the Key to the Cosmos?

Although the base game of Starfield is sold as part of Xbox Game Pass, access to Shattered Space is beyond the scope of the subscription service for the time being – making the DLC a premium add-on, with access benefits for Game Pass subscribers wanting to upgrade.

Beyond mere breadth, Shattered Space promises a narrative experience, with between 10-12 hours of play on offer for those crazy enough to want to turn over every rock on Va’ruun’kai.

Trailers and Teasers: A Glimpse into the Void

Bethesda has hinted at what might lie in Va’ruun’kai with trailers and deep dives about Shattered Space, and all around there is talk of the possibility that space RPGs might never be the same. So, what lies at the heart of the Va’ruun’kai oceans?
