Bethesda just dropped a trio of animated Starfield trailers showcasing the vibes of some of the game's major settlements, and it seems the highly-anticipated RPG aims to encompass just about every sci-fi genre you can imagine.
The Settled Systems - A Starfield Animated Anthology tells the dialog-free stories of characters making their way in three of the biggest Starfield cities. The animation is a bit limited, but the aesthetics are absolutely gorgeous, with anime-style character designs and impeccably-staged action sequences created in an eye-catching sketchbook style.
The first of these, Supra Et Ultra, follows a courier pilot named Kent as he chases his dreams of living in New Atlantis and eventually finds a life of spacefaring adventure even more appealing. This trailer is pure space opera, drawing in equal parts from the utopian cityscapes of Star Trek and the pulpy space battles of Star Wars - just look at that Empire Strikes Back-style asteroid chase.
Then there's Where Hope is Built, which takes us to Akila City to meet Vanna, an orphan of the Colony Wars looking to repair her ship and reach the stars. This one is pure Gundam, with lavish mecha action building to the melancholy tale of a new generation working through the wreckage of the old.
Finally, we have The Hand that Feeds, which takes us to Neon in order to see the extremely cyberpunk misadventures of the petty criminals Ada and Harper. While stories of street rats eking out a living on neon-soaked streets have been integral to the genre from the start, it's tough to see them tied to a big open-world RPG without thinking of Cyberpunk 2077 - particularly with Phantom Liberty launching so close to Starfield on September 26.
While the cities themselves had previously been detailed, these specific characters had not, and now I'm immensely curious about whether they'll appear in the game itself. We already knew Starfield was going to be massive, and it seems Bethesda is confident it's more than large enough to encompass a big array of varied sci-fi vibes.
There are plenty of new games for 2023 , but arguably none of them are bigger than Starfield.
Damon Lindelof has taken a jab at the Star Wars franchise, while picketing outside of Disney offices.
Hot on the heels of the launch of Star Wars: The Deckbuilding Gamecomes Star Wars: Unlimited, one of Fantasy Flight Games’ biggest titles for 2024. Polygon had a chance to play the game ahead of its release at this year’s Gen Con, and what we found is a punchy little TCG with great potential. In fact, it reminds me a lot of modern Star Wars video games.
Droids are many things in Star Wars: useful, annoying, cute, and frequently in danger. But they're very rarely scary. Star Wars: Dark Droids aims to change all that. In the new series, Luke Skywalker and chums find themselves pitted against a deadly new threat with the power to control droids - and it's coming for both the Empire and the Rebellion.
Electronic Arts announced its preliminary results for the first quarter of the 2024 fiscal year, ending June 30th, 2023. The publisher announced “record” Q1 results with EA Sports global football (i.e. FIFA and Madden NFL) and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor providing “strong momentum.” Net bookings hit $1.578 billion, a 21 percent increase year-over-year.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is now in development for PS4 and Xbox One - that's right, two consoles that were first released around 10 years ago.
EA has revealed that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is being ported to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is headed to old-gen platforms. During the Q1 2024 earnings call, EA confirmed that developer Respawn Entertainment is in the early stages of developing dedicated versions for the PS4 and Xbox One. The Cal Kestis-led (Cameron Monaghan) galaxy-spawning adventure originally launched in April, but entirely skipped previous generations — akin to other major publishers, who've been leaning toward the newer consoles for ease in optimisation and being able to render the visuals to the highest quality they desire. Currently, there's no release window, though when it eventually drops on older systems, will be an interesting testing bench to see how much visual fidelity the game sacrificed to run at minimum 30fps on a hard drive.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor publisher Electronic Arts has announced that Respawn is working on a port for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One during an earnings call that took place earlier today. The game launched back in April earlier this year exclusive to the PS5 and Xbox Series X as Respawn wanted to make the title a "true new-gen experience", but it now looks like the developer is making a port for those that don't own current-gen hardware just yet.
PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor are currently in the “early stages” of development, publisher Electronic Arts said during its earnings briefing today. A release date was not announced.
You can even customize the blade's color on the fly, just like in the games.
Despite several technical issues at launch, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is successful, with Electronic Arts touting “millions of players.” In its Q1 2024 earnings call (as reported by IGN), it announced that Respawn Entertainment was bringing the action-adventure title to Xbox One and PS4. The port is in the “early stages of development” and a release window wasn’t provided.
Anakin Skywalker is seemingly back in Ahsoka – if you believe this official Amazon listing, anyway.
