That’s because Prospect is a master of understated world building, something I hope Starfield nails as a wholly new IP from Bethesda. But I do hope it has drawn upon the same vein as Prospect, a low-budget but excellent sci-fi movie. While it looks like Starfield will lean more into the hard sci-fi style of The Expanse, rather than the more high science fiction of Star Trek, I’m still left speculating at how the ‘world’ of Starfield will take shape. The Starfield showcase this Sunday (June 11) promises to give us a big look at the “NASA-punk” sci-fi game for Xbox Series X, Series S and Windows PCs.Īt the moment, we don’t know a vast amount about Starfield, other than some core elements like planet exploration, base building, space combat and a story based around various factions and the discovery of alien artifacts. As for the game itself, it'll likely get an action-packed showing, as Xbox promises "no full CG trailers" for most of its upcoming showcase.Promotional image for Prospect of someone with a helmet on standing in front of the camera looking forward at a planet that’s quite close If both the controller and headset are indeed real, then it's good news for Starfield fans eager to purchase appropriately themed hardware. And we've seen similar limited edition Xbox controllers before, with games like Halo Infinite and Forza Horizon 5. But extra hardware like limited edition controllers are well-suited for the game's staunchest fans. Of course, special editions and future paid DLC are a given. Starfield will be available for Xbox Game Pass players to download at no extra cost, so it's natural that Microsoft would look at other avenues of revenue for the highly anticipated sci-fi RPG. Here's some more pictures confirming the new controller from r/Starfield Though, I personally feel the random lines and scribbles on the front of the controller make it look a bit overdesigned. The gold-hued D-pad and triggers are a nice touch, too. In terms of the overall design, the matte white shell of the gamepad contrasts nicely with red and gray accents found on the rear of the pad, as well as its analog sticks. Furthermore, the Twitter post also shows off a Starfield-themed Xbox Wireless Headset, indicating that Microsoft is going big on limited edition peripherals for the game. Around the same time, video footage of the Xbox Series X|S controller outside of its box emerged on Twitter, showing the totally-hypothetical gamepad has a rather interesting design.
