Starfield: Shattered Space Is a Narrative-Driven, Horror-Inflected Expansion to the Galaxy

Bethesda Game Studios have created something new with Va’Ruun’kai – this world doesn’t look or act like any other in the game. It’s a deeply alien landscape, the architecture is unique, and Vortexes even change how you explore, allowing you to effectively platform to out of the way structures in pockets of zero-G. Even if you’ve explored the length and breadth of Starfield’s galaxy, there’s something new here for you.

The sheer scope here is clear across the board. There are cosmic ghost stories, monster attacks from new species, and even what look like fully-fledged survival horror sequences with stalking abominations. Of course, you’ll be finding new weapons and equipment along the way to help you combat these new threats, too – I’m particularly interested in the Vortex Grenade, which appears to harness the power of the devastation in a spectacular way.
