  • Starfield is Bethesda's first new IP in years, offering an intriguing story-driven space exploration RPG experience.

  • The main story can drag at times and play it safe, so the Shattered Space DLC has an opportunity to improve on this.

  • New Atlantis was hinted to face destruction but remains intact, indicating the DLC could raise stakes.

  • Shattered Space's ominous name implies high stakes content is coming that could test player bonds.

  • As a story expansion made alongside the base game, it will likely pick up where Starfield left off and make things interesting.
