Starfield was present at the opening of gamescom with a new trailer. During this, a new update was revealed that brings a feature to the game that fans have been waiting for.
What update is it about? It had been a bit quiet lately regarding Starfield, the space game from Bethesda. Now, a new trailer was shown at gamescom, as the game surprisingly receives an update.
This is free for all owners of the main game. The good news: The update is already live and brings a feature to the game that particularly lazy players have been eagerly waiting for.
Tedious journeys have come to an end
What does the update bring to the game? A vehicle in Starfield had been requested by many players. It’s great that the update adds just such a vehicle to the game. It is a buggy, which can be used to comfortably explore the vast planets of Starfield.
Long walking distances are now a thing of the past; the vehicle named REV-8 is meant for moving around much faster and more easily. The developers further explained that you can not only drive with it, but also jump and shoot. Resources can also be harvested with it.
The innovation has already received positive feedback from fans. The user “SilverDeath” writes on Reddit:
I honestly love it. The boosting, the jetpacks, the big wheels, the way your companions can ride in it, the fact that it has a weapon. Reminds me of the Mako or Nomad from the Mass Effect games, but in the form of a dirt buggy.
Many players agree with this opinion. The vehicle would be a sensible innovation. However, ironic comparisons to other “vehicles” from Bethesda games are already being drawn. Particularly mentioned are the horse from Oblivion and its paid horse armor, with the quiet hope that the REV-8 will be spared from this fate. After all, the game has recently made headlines with paid missions.
What else does the update bring? Additionally, some bugs in the game are fixed and new configuration options are added for the Xbox version.
And the upcoming expansion “Shattered Space” now has a release date. It will be released on September 30, 2024. The expansion is part of the big plans that Bethesda has for Starfield. You can find an overview of this and information about “Shattered Space” on MeinMMO.
