A second Starfield could surpass the original game, but only if it's willing to reimagine what being ‘Starfield’ actually means.

With the April 2025 release of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, it feels like the era of Starfield is coming to an end. The latest original IP from Bethesda Game Studios, Starfield, got a considerably more lukewarm response than anyone could have predicted, and, at this point, it feels like Microsoft and Bethesda are trying to brush it under the rug. A rumored Starfield PS5 release was recently reinforced by a trusted insider, but after that, it seems like Bethesda’s premiere space-exploration RPG will end up being grounded.

    I just want to be able to manually fly my ship around everywhere. No cutscenes, disguise planet landings with clouds or something if you have to.

    And don’t need POIs evenly spaced out every 2km or so on every planet.
