Ex-Bethesda Dev Calls Starfield 2 'One Hell of a Game'
Oct 27, 2024 3:32 PMFormer Bethesda designer Bruce Nesmith believes that Starfield 2 has the potential to be a remarkable game, despite the mixed reception of the original Starfield. He emphasizes that previous titles like Skyrim benefited from the experience gained in earlier games, suggesting that a sequel to Starfield would be able to rectify many issues and enhance the gameplay with new features. However, he notes that it may take several years before fans can enjoy this sequel, leaving questions about its community support and development timeline.
When will Starfield 2 be released?While there’s no confirmed release date for Starfield 2, it is expected to be developed after the upcoming titles like Fallout 5 and The Elder Scrolls 6, potentially making its debut several years down the line.
Starfield, launched by Bethesda, marks the company's first new IP in over 25 years, blending role-playing elements with space exploration. Despite its ambitious scope, many fans have voiced disappointment over the game’s execution. This debate has only intensified with the release of its first expansion, Shattered Space, which did not significantly enhance the game’s reputation.

It's exciting to hear that Bruce Nesmith believes Starfield 2 could build on the foundation of its predecessor, especially with Bethesda's track record of improvement in sequels. But with other big titles on the horizon, we might be waiting a while to see how they tackle the community's feedback and refine that space exploration experience

It’s interesting to see Bruce Nesmith’s optimism for Starfield 2, especially given how Bethesda often learns from its previous titles. If they can harness that creative energy, we might just get a sequel that truly soars while fans wait through whatever the development timeline throws their way

It’s interesting to hear Bruce Nesmith’s optimism about Starfield 2; sequels often have the chance to learn from their predecessors' missteps. If Bethesda can harness more of that Skyrim magic while still pushing boundaries, it could be a game-changer—but that wait might be the real test of patience for fans
