Despite only releasing earlier this month, Bethesda’s sci-fi RPG is already proving to be one of the most successful games this year. Though, it’s still far from perfect, but fun nonetheless.

Starfield is a massive game, and I mean literally with a map so big that it features over 1000 planets and around 100 star systems. It also features our very own solar system, to an extent. However, fans may have noticed one big admission, and that there is no planet Earth.

As reported by Pure Xbox, Bethesda chief Todd Howard was recently talking to The Washington Post and revealed that our mother Earth nearly featured in the game, before the decision was made against it. 

What’s more, Bethesda even talked about featuring the Fallout universe in Starfield. The reason this idea never came to fruition was due to the narrative and style of Fallout and Starfield did not match up. Oh, what could have been.

Starfield is out now for PC and Xbox Series X|S. It is also available at no extra cost to Xbox Game Pass subscribers.
