Bethesda has offered a glimpse of some creatures for Starfield’s forthcoming DLC, Shattered Space, via its Creation portal. This Creation kit, launched as a component of the game’s June 2024 update, mirrors the functionality of the Creation Club for Skyrim and Fallout 4, granting players access to Bethesda’s tools for modding. This includes the capability to introduce new levels, weapons, characters, and outfits. Bethesda has also utilized this platform to release additional content, such as the paid Hunter’s Alliance quest, The Vulture, though it faced criticism due to its cost and limited content.
Reddit user CrisisAbort noted that Bethesda Game Studios has released a new official Creation titled “Shattered Space Plushie Set,” available for 500 Creation points. This set allows players to craft three plushies inspired by creatures that have “crawled out of the Vortex,” aligning with the storyline details shared in the recent Xbox Wire preview of Shattered Space.
Has The Shattered Space Plushie Been Released Too Soon?
Or Has It Been Released Early To Generate Hype For The DLC?
CrisisAbort raised the question of whether the plushie set might have been released prematurely, as the Shattered Space DLC is scheduled for a September 30, 2024, launch, as announced during Gamescom 2024’s Opening Night Live. However, both creatures from the set have already featured in various trailers, along with a new type of Vasco robot, suggesting this could be a strategic marketing move for the upcoming DLC.
Regarding the Vortex tease, it has been recently disclosed that Shattered Space will unfold on the planet Va’ruun’kai, the enigmatic House Va’ruun’s domain. Yet, it was confirmed that players won’t witness it in its entirety due to Grav Drive experiments causing widespread chaos, devastating Dazra and beyond, with parts of the world ensnared in gravitational anomalies known as Vortexes. The Shattered Space plushie set hints that these creatures may soon escape their confinement, entering the game’s current realm.
Starfield: Shattered Space DLC Release Date, Price, & New Story Details
The concept of adorning ships with various creatures from the upcoming DLC serves as a playful promotional tactic, though their true importance will remain unclear until Shattered Space officially debuts. Luckily, with the release of Shattered Space just weeks away, over a year following Starfield’s initial launch, players won’t have much longer to wait for revelations.
