Official new Starfield timeline reveals big years and events to know
14.08.2023 - 21:29 / pcinvasion.com / New / New Starfield
Starfield is showing all the signs of being one of the year’s biggest releases. There is a lot we haven’t known about the futuristic world in which it takes place, however. Bethesda has now provided a detailed timeline that reveals big years and events that transpire between the present day and the point when the story’s main beats hit.
The official Starfield timeline is available to peruse on the game’s dedicated site. It singles out the big years and events that lead to the space exploration players will enjoy when the game officially releases on September 6, 2023. That’s a full 27 years before the first developments within the game’s timeline.

According to the timeline, humans first arrive on Mars in 2050. Early habitation leads to space colonies by 2100. In 2159, the United Colonies are established, with New Atlantis being designated as the official capital city in 2161.
In 2189, the Freestar Collective alliance is formed. Tensions soon develop between the United Colonies and the Freestar Collective. As a result of those ever-increasing tensions, the Narion War finally erupts in 2196. Wars often continue for years, and that is the case once again. Two decades after the initial skirmishes, however, the Treaty of Narion establishes an uneasy peace.
Some treaties cast long shadows, however. Following various events and some quiet decades (the farming of the planet Vesta in the Lunara system chief among them), diplomacy fails to prevent a new war. This one is known as the Colony War. It kicks off in 2307 and lasts through 2311.
The full timeline details a number of other events and entities. Key details include the creation and growth of an organization known as Constellation. Founded in the year 2275 by Sebastian Banks, Constellation remains active in the background. By 2328, a number of important individuals have freshly joined the aging organization. The stage is set for events that unfold as Starfield begins in 2330 A.D.
Sprawling epics demand a compelling backstory and a sense of place. Starfield seems to have nailed those details. It’s too early to say for certain whether Starfield will be as successful as Baldur’s Gate 3. That other game also has a lot of lore that players love. If the intriguing timeline is any indication, competition between the two games could be fierce. Hopefully, treaties won’t prove necessary.
Starfield is available for pre-purchase on Steam.

Bethesda commissioned an official Starfield song from Imagine Dragons and if you guessed that it rhymes 'high' with 'sky,' you are correct
In the never-ending quest for more eyeballs on its stuff, Bethesda Softworks has enlisted the talents of award-winning pop-rock group Imagine Dragons to create a song for Starfield called Children of the Sky. It's not the worst collaboration between a game studio and mainstream musician I've ever heard, but that's at least in part because I'm old enough to have a clear recollection of something called Hope For the Future.

Big Man And Other New Splatoon 3 Amiibos Finally Available For Pre-Order
Splatoon got what will almost definitely be its final game on the Nintendo Switch last year via Splatoon 3. The latest installment in the series got a couple of amiibo figures to mark the occasion, but Nintendo announced recently that there are more to come. The only trouble is even though it showed us all three of the new Splatoon amiibos it has in the offing, Nintendo didn't give us a way to buy them. Like popping them in the window of a store that doesn't have an opening time.

220-foot asteroid to buzz Earth today! NASA reveals speed, size and more
The Alvarez hypothesis, proposed by the father and son duo Luis and Walter Alvarez in 1980, states that an asteroid struck Earth more than 65 million years ago and kicked off the extinction of dinosaurs. Although its impact crater has been presumed to be in Mexico, new light has now been shed on how it reached Earth. According to the English physicist Brian Cox, the asteroid, which formed a 140-kilometer impact crater, was thrown off its course by Jupiter, the largest planet in our Solar System.
