The first story expansion Bethesda has planned for Starfield is called Shattered Space. Here’s everything we know about it so far.

Before Starfield’s market debut, Bethesda Game Studios confirmed plans to release a paid story expansion – Shattered Space. Access to the DLC upon release came bundled with the RPG’s Premium Edition, Premium Edition Upgrade (digital and physical), and Constellation Edition.

At the time of writing, details about the eagerly-anticipated expansion remain scant at best. Bethesda has yet to officially confirm how much the content will cost à la carte, for example.

Here’s what we know about Starfield’s first major expansion.

Does Starfield’s Shattered Space DLC have a release date?

No, Bethesda has not confirmed a release date for Starfield’s Shattered Space expansion. The latest update comes from a Kinda Funny interview with director Todd Howard who said the DLC should release in Fall 2024.

Previously, Bethesda confirmed in an end of the year update for 2023 that developers are “hard at work on the [DLC’s] development” and said it would be “coming next year.”

Shattered Space DLC details

As mentioned above, the development crew is keeping concrete information close to the vest for now. But the year-end update did confirm that Shattered Space will include new narrative-centric content, previously unseen locations, new gear, and more.

Additional details will surface sometime in the new year, though specifics on that front also remain under wraps.

Fans have already formulated a few theories about what the expansion’s story may entail. For instance, many hope the mysterious Va’ruun government will be further explored. Others have far grander ideas, thinking Shattered Space could go back in time and expand on what happened to Earth.
