Now Playing: Starfield Gameplay Reveal | Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase 2022
The footage also showed off a lock-picking gameplay mechanic as well as some third-person shooting sequences. The footage also showed off the game’s capital city, New Atlantis, which appears to be a big, bustling city where players will accept missions and learn more about the world.
Starfield’s character creation system was also on display in the footage, and Howard called it Bethesda’s most extensive yet. There are optional traits that players can select, too, and these each come with advantages and disadvantages. What’s more, Starfield will even let players create and customize their own space ships, and then fly them.
In discussing the size of Starfield, Howard also confirmed that Starfield has more than 1,000 planets, and each one is open and available for players to explore.
