However, the increasing popularity of another Bethesda franchise might prove detrimental toStarfield‘s success.

Fallouthas always been a fan-favorite franchise from Bethesda; however, there has been a surge in popularity for several reasons. While this seems fantastic for Bethesda, it might lead to it focusing onFalloutmore, leavingStarfieldbehind.

Interestingly,Falloutis seeing a resurgence in popularity, particularly due to the series based on the franchise. Furthermore,Fallout 4still boasts a huge player base despite the game being almost a decade old. The immense mod support definitely plays a significant role in keeping it relevant as well.
Reddit user u/Bolkenkaefer has expressed concern thatFalloutbeing at the center of attention could spell bad news forStarfield.According to the user, the developer might put the space-oriented game in the backseat and devote its resources to progressingFalloutfurther.

Although this is not a far-fetched opinion, it’s worth pointing out that Bethesda is far from giving up when it comes toStarfield.TheShattered SpaceDLC is on the horizon, and fans even got some leaks regarding additional content for the game for 2025. So, it’s fair to say Bethesda has plans laid out for the foreseeable future.

If anyone is wondering what the DLC will include, it will revolve around the House Va’ruun faction. The clan was the least explored in the base game, so we will get to see it explored fully this time around. This is also going to invite new troubles for the players, as they will likely face the wrath of a powerful cult.
A new trademark was also recently registered, suggesting thatBethesdais not stopping with the next DLC and will see another one in 2025. The project is labelled “Starborn,” but no information is out yet, so fans will have to wait for Bethesda to officially reveal more details.
