Update 12 May 2022: Bethesda has announced on Twitter that Starfield has been delayed until the first half of 2023.
If you haven't heard about it yet, Starfield is going to be the debut entry in an entirely new franchise and marks the first single-player RPG released by BGS since Fallout 4 all the way back in 2015. The details of the new game world and story have not been fully revealed yet and we've been eagerly following the "Into The Starfield" video series as it teases more and more information about the upcoming title.
What we do know is Starfield will be using an updated version of the Creation Engine which has been used to power Skyrim, Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 (which is in itself an evolution of the Gamebyro Engine used by older titles). Todd Howard has also confirmed in an AMA on Reddit that Starfield will have full mod support, which is great news for our community!
So what are we doing to prepare for Starfield? Glad you asked! We're slowly ramping up our efforts to create a community space for Starfield. This is comprised of a few parts:
- Starfield Modding Discord - We could have simply added Starfield channels to our main server, but this time around we felt it would be far better to separate the Starfield discussion into its own server. There are already some interesting conversations happening there, including early planning of a Community Patch for the game. If you're interested in modding Starfield, please do check it out.
- Starfield Modding Forums - We've created a new forum category where you can talk about the game, modding or even share your ideas for mods.
- Starfield Modding Wiki - While it's pretty barebones right now, we plan to use the Modding.wiki site for Starfield to serve as a hub for important information about modding which would otherwise be lost to obscurity in forum posts, Discord servers or Reddit threads.
- Starfield Game Section - Coming November 2022. We'll be opening the doors on the site section to share your mods, images, videos and collections for Starfield.
That's not all, we're also actively engaging with our friends at Bethesda to learn more about the game and get more modding-specific information that we can share with mods authors, tool developers and the community to allow us to work together to create a modding community that could rival the ones for their previous games.
Are you as excited as we are for Starfield? What kinds of mods would you like to see? Join the discussion on the forums.
Don't forget to wishlist Starfield on Steam or join Constellation on Bethesda's website to stay updated.

BOOM! best of both worlds.
No decent follower mods. Because when your only dialogue is "WhAt DoYoU tHINk aBoUT OuR rELAtIONsHIP?"
There's clearly not much room to work with.
Compare quest and follower mods of fo4 with those of skyrim and new vegas. Yeah big difference.
I believe we are playing RPGS, role playing games.
Where is the role playing with A VOICED PROTAGONIST??
Can't believe people enjoy a 100% pure shooter in their "RPG" as main gameplay.
Every shot is a roll to hit. Each impact is listed in ck as a "spell"
Get hit with a critical shot? Cuz they rolled a crit and you rolled a fail, Ha.
im done xD
We will see.

Anywho, loved Skyrim, loved FO4, will probably love this. Hell I still enjoy firing up those old titles every once in awhile. Will be getting Starfield at or shortly after launch outside of any unforeseen events.
BGS games are very special. There is NOTHING else out there quite like them. If people have so much of an issue with them, their engine or whatever it is they have an issue with, there's great news. There are thousands of other games that they might prefer to play instead. Me? I like how ambitious BGS games are and I like the amount of value I get from them. Sure they're not perfect, not even close, but I still spend more time in these worlds than most others and I wouldn't want BGS games to be any other way (although I wouldn't say no to some optimizations and bug fixes XD)
Al it's called critical thinking, it wise not to suck dev c-ck and throw your money at corporations when they are subjected to greed.
Have we forgotten about maid mods, the oblivion horse scandal and oh yeah FALLOUT 76 already?
When one buys a game, we expect the game to be that of what we see in a trailer, relatively bug free and whatever other content is seen in said trailer.
If the product is anything other than how it was advertised, do you know what that's called? A SCAM!
I'm not saying this is the case for starfield. We will see on release.
Have you every played the latest Ghost Recon? Yeah, PvE story game that let's you unlock EVERYTHING you can achieve in game with money.
You can make a cashgrab out of everything, including SP games.
I just hope mod support gets a priority over wokery support
(Maybe live your lives and not let millionaires paid by billionaires try to fearmonger you into a corner.)
Unlike fo4 where the gameplay is good but the story makes me want to puke.
