Starfield's Shattered Space Expansion Launches This Month, Features "Handcrafted" Locations And New Enemies

Just over a year after its initial launch, Bethesda has finally given Starfield players a closer look at the game's upcoming DLC, the Shattered Space expansion. A nine-minute deep dive trailer breaking down the expansion was recently uploaded to Bethesda's YouTube channel, giving players their first real taste of what the expansion has to offer. The trailer also revealed the expansion's launch date: September 30.

Focused around the fate of what is easily one of the most interesting factions from the base game--House Va'ruun--Shattered Space is a mostly self-contained adventure, according to Bethesda, taking place entirely on the homeworld of House Va'ruun--known as Va'ruun'kai--and its capitol city, Dazra.

"We love Starfield's massive open galaxy, but from early on in our planning, we knew we wanted to introduce some more secluded and handcrafted locations similar to what you've seen from our past expansions," said lead producer Joe Mueller. "There's so much mystery to House Va'Ruun! And becaused they've so thoroughly isolated themselves, it made them the perfect faction to explore in a completely self-contained experience."
