  • The Starfield Shattered Space DLC release window is set for 2024.

While DLC for Starfield was known about before the base game launched, Bethesda has given us a Starfield Shattered Space release window, at long last. There is still no set date, but we now know the DLC expansion for Starfield will be playable sometime in 2024. Perhaps its release will be coinciding with the game’s first anniversary. Here is everything we know about the Starfield DLC release.

What is the Starfield Shattered Space release window?

The Starfield Shattered Space DLC release window is locked in for 2024. While Bethesda hasn’t told us the exact date, we can rest assured it will be playable this year. This launch was confirmed by Bethesda during the Xbox Live Showcase in June, giving us a look at gameplay and some of the new features in Shattered Space. This was the first trailer for the DLC, so let’s get into it.

Starfield Shattered Space story

From the trailer, we can glean that the story of Shattered Space is centred around House Va’ruun, which is something of a religion in the Settled Systems we’ve run into in the base game. It seems like there is an underlying conspiracy with House Va’ruun, which we will uncover through the events of the DLC. As per information from the base game, we know House Va’ruun worships a god-like being called the Great Serpent. Our search will take us to new locations and put us against a group of religious zealots, which should make for an interesting story.

Starfield Shattered Space new gameplay details

With any expanded DLC, we can expect plenty of new locations, weapons, new planets, enemies, and so much more. The base Starfield game launched with tons of customisation features, and we can probably expect more of the same from the DLC. From the trailer, we can glean new planets and locations, namely planets that will be tied to House Va’ruun and their followers. With new planets and locations, come new enemies to face. The trailer showed some alien monsters on an abandoned space station for starters, and we can probably expect to fight some zealots during Shattered Space.
