Starfield free mini-series is worth your time
The release of Starfield is nearly upon us and if you thought that the 45-minute deepdive was enough sci-fi RPG goodness as we lead up to launch, then think again.
Bethesda has released a free mini-series that captures the essence of retro vibes that takes me back to the 80s and 90s anime era. The mini-series tells three short stories of characters that play their own small part in the universe that we share.
Dubbed ‘The Settled Systems – A Starfield Anthology’, the episodes tell the story of a: “delivery pilot in New Atlantis seeking the exciting life of the elite; a stranded orphan looking for a way out of Akila City; and two street rats struggling to survive in the underbelly of Neon.”
The three episodes in question are ‘Supra Et Ultra’: “In the city of New Atlantis, capital of the United Colonies, a courier pilot named Kent aspires to live in the most desirable part of the Settled Systems. After joining the UC Vanguard and working his way up to the Capital’s elite, Kent quickly realises the adventures waiting for him off-planet are what he truly longed for.”
‘Where Hope is Built’: “Vanna—an Akila City orphan of the famous Colony Wars—desperately wants to explore the stars, and only one thing is standing in her way: a working ship. Her search for repair parts leads her throughout the city, and into some unexpected danger, as she closes in on her dream.”
‘The Hand that Feeds’: “Two Neon street rats, Ada and Harper, are partners in crime eking out a living stealing from the wealthy partygoers that come to the “pleasure city” to let loose. When Ada is forced into a moral dilemma, she quickly catches the attention of the all-seeing Ryujin industries, bringing her an exciting new opportunity. But at what cost?”
Starfield will be released on 6 September for PC and Xbox Series X|S. Unless you pre-order the Premium or Constellation Edition, in which case, your release date will be 1 September. What’s more, Starfield will also launch on Xbox Game Pass.
