Starfield DLC release date and UK launch time: When is Shattered Space coming?
Because you need more things to do in this game.
The Starfield: Shattered Space DLC release date has been revealed, and we'll be able to play even more Starfield very soon indeed.
Shattered Space is the hotly-anticipated story expansion DLC for Starfield that fans of Bethesda's open-world space epic have been clamouring for ever since the base game launched in 2023.
Bethesda often knock it out of the park with DLC, so we can't wait to see what it has up its sleeves in Shattered Space.
It's looking like there's a lot of new content to play through in the DLC.
Read on to find out when the Starfield DLC release date is and what to expect from Shattered Space.
Starfield DLC release date: When is Shattered Space coming?
The Starfield DLC release date is Monday 30th September 2024.
Shattered Space is upon us, and from the sounds of things, expect it to last you quite a while – just as the base game did, and continues to do.
You can purchase Shattered Space from CDKeys.
When is the UK launch time for Starfield: Shattered Space?
Starfield's Shattered Space DLC will launch in the UK at 4pm BST on Monday 30th September, the developers have confirmed.
What better way to treat yourself in the middle of the afternoon?
Over in the USA, Shattered Space will launch at 8am PDT, 10am CDT and 11am EDT.
What's in the Starfield: Shattered Space DLC?
The Starfield: Shattered Space DLC is a major story expansion to the base game.
As per the DLC's Xbox store listing, we know what to expect from the expansion: "A mysterious power stirs in the city of Dazra on House Va’Ruun’s hidden homeworld.
"Investigate a frightening cosmic threat, explore a new planet, and find unique weapons, spacesuits, and gear in this all-new adventure."
During the new adventure, you'll "immerse yourself in the dark and complex world of House Va’Ruun, as you navigate a tense political landscape, uncover the history of the Va’Ruun people and help decide the fate of the faction in the wake of a cataclysmic event".
The trailer and release date dropped at Gamescom's Opening Night Live, and although the devs seemed more keen to show off the Rev-8 vehicle (now available in a free update), we learned a little about the Shattered Space DLC.
Bethesda confirmed there would be a DLC last year, and it got its first trailer at the Xbox Games Showcase back in June, but now it all seems very close and exciting.
It looks a lot darker than the story of the base game, with a few horror elements. We can't help but wonder if they've been playing Dead Space in the Bethesda studios...
