Bethesda’s second post-launch expansion for Starfield remains in active development, though recent leaks suggest its arrival could extend beyond 2025. Industry insiders point to potential delays as the studio expands the project’s scope.

Reliable source Nate the Hate recently posted on a gaming forum that while additional content is being crafted, current timelines indicate it might not arrive until after next year. This extended cycle, compared to the one-year gap before Shattered Space’s debut, hints that the upcoming DLC could be larger in scope than its predecessor. Fans hoping for fresh mechanics and narrative depth may find the wait worthwhile if Bethesda addresses prior criticisms.

While Shattered Space streamlined the base game’s storytelling, its brief runtime and constrained design drew mixed reactions. Critics noted repetitive mission layouts and minimal gameplay additions, issues the rumored Starborn expansion might resolve through expanded mechanics and varied quest structures. Players anticipate systemic improvements to elevate the space RPG’s replayability.

Starfield and its first expansion are currently playable on PC and Xbox consoles. Speculation persists about a PlayStation 5 version, with multiple leaks suggesting ongoing negotiations, though Bethesda has not confirmed details.
