Among the dozens of game trailers shown off at Gamescom 2024, a new one emerged from Bethesda, showcasing the latest in upcoming content for intergalactic RPG Starfield. Along with a free update introducing the long-awaited REV-8 land vehicle, the game’s first story DLC, Shattered Space, now has a firm release date of September 30, 2024.

Shattered Space takes space adventurers to the eerie, distant home planet of House Va'ruun, a cult-like religious faction largely ostracized by the Settled Systems, whose backstory has thus far only been revealed through enemy encounters, side missions, and salvageable lore. Fiercely loyal to an entity known only as the Great Serpent, its members seek to eradicate those who do not adhere to their faith.

As noted in a previous update on Starfield's Steam page: "When a distress signal originating from an abandoned star station leads you on a path to Va'ruun'kai, you'll begin to unravel the secrets of the Great Serpent's minions." A trailer released back in June (seen above) also gives an in-depth look at what players can expect from this exciting new deep space adventure.

Whether the Shattered Space DLC will have a price tag is not yet known. As soon as that is known, we will let you know as soon as possible.
