Todd Howard denies the existence of a "version 2.0" of Starfield
, by Thibaut
Rumors of Starfield getting revamped have been circulating on social media for several months now. Many are hoping for a true 2.0 version capable of giving the open-world sci-fi RPG yet another lease of life.
Unfortunately, we probably shouldn't expect anything that ambitious. That's what Todd Howard said in an interview with Kinda Funny Games. He also promised to give us some news about Starfield very soon.
"Obviously, we’ve been working on a lot of Starfield content, we haven’t talked about it yet. The end of last year for us was prickly, for us – we have periods where we focus on IPs and franchises, and Fallout obviously dominated the fall and earlier this year, but you’ve seen it.
And I can tell everybody we’re gonna be talking about it really soon. We’re moving into a phase where we’re going to be talking about Starfield and really show that in the right way."
While there will be some announcements on the matter (including a possible PS5 version), it's best we temper our expectations.
"It is not Starfield 2.0 – I’ve seen some of that, and for expectation setting – I think it’s the kinda thing where – if you like Starfield, we think you’re going to love this. It’s updates and things that change the game, not in an isolated way, but you know ‘meta’ – using outer space and things in ways that we haven’t.
But if Starfield is something that didn’t connect with you right away, or you bounced off it, or found it boring in places – I don’t think it’s going to change that fundamentally, but if you’re someone who loves Starfield and we think, we’re really happy with it."
