Starfield Game World
Starfield offers players an expansive open world situated in the vast expanse of the Milky Way galaxy. This world encompasses a blend of fictional and non-fictional planetary systems, granting players the ability to explore over 1,000 planets, along with numerous moons and space stations. The majority of the game's landscapes (~90%) are procedurally generated, and later enhanced with meticulously crafted content. Each planet's terrain, flora and fauna are dynamically generated based on the characteristics of its star system and atmosphere. Among the game's features, New Atlantis stands out as the largest fictional city ever created by Bethesda.
