Starfield Director is Unwilling to Confirm When DLC Will Launch

Todd Howard has shared a surprising insight about Starfield.

Starfield's jogging speed can appear to be a little fast but thankfully if you're finding it to be an issue a few players have already created some mods to help. 

Starfield game director Todd Howard has confirmed that the game's official mod tools will be released next year. 

While it’s certainly true that Starfield already has more mods than most games ever receive during their entire lifetime, including the hotly anticipated Script Extender thingamajig, it doesn’t take an eagle’s eye to notice that the vast majority of them are still relatively limited in scope. That’s for good reason, too, as Starfield is currently missing a crucial feature that all Bethesda Game Studios RPGS eventually receive: Creation Kit support. Until Creation Kit 2 – built specifically for Starfield‘s Creation Engine 2 – comes out, modders won’t be able to easily add new weapons, customizations, and other assorted goodies into the game, but the good news is that it’s bound to happen relatively soon!

Starfield players have already made some incredibly useful mods, like a fix for the frustrating inventory system or the addition of DLSS support, but they've also added some very silly things like hairy chests, colourful juice boxes, and the lasagne loving cat Garfield.

Starfield players are a creative bunch, and when they're not filling spaceships full of potatoes or building New Atlantis in Lego, they're using the robust character creator to recreate a bunch of famous faces.

Starfield Director Todd Howard, the man behind The Elder Scrolls and the latest Fallout games after Bethesda acquired the franchise, is easily one of the most acclaimed video game designers in the industry. He received many personal awards, including the honor of being inducted into the AIAS (Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences) Hall of Fame six years ago for his many contributions to the industry. The following year, he got a similar 'Industry Legend' award at Gamelab Barcelona.

Starfield topped one million concurrent players on its official launch day, according to Microsoft’s head of gaming.

Elianora, who also goes by Emmi Junkkari, is a prominent modder in the Skyrim community. They have created some of the most downloaded Fallout 4 and Skyrim mods that have even caught the attention of Todd Howard who has complimented the mods. Bethesda went beyond distant admiration, as Elianora has revealed that they worked as a lighting and clutter artist for Starfield.

Starfield is still only out for early adopters, but already players are experimenting with the character creator.

We all knew that Starfield would have a packed Nexus Mods page in its first week of release, but the dedication of the playerbase is still awe-inspiring. We're only on day three of its early access period and there are already 334 mods uploaded to Nexus at the time of writing. 124 of which were shared today. So, it's no surprise that some of them already centre around the main man himself, the one and only: Todd Howard.

Starfield players aren't too happy with the map in Bethesda's new RPG.
