Starfield Reveal Teaser Stills 3 IMAGES

In an interview with Eurogamer , Bethesda Softworks Director and Executive Producer Todd Howard offered further comment about on what platforms to expect the the sci-fi adventure, announced during Bethesda's E3 press briefing , as the concept of "next-generation" was expressed during that briefing."What systems we put it out on — what's the hardware requirements — is still to be determined," Howard said. "We're pushing it; we're thinking very, very far in future so we're building something that will handle next-generation hardware. That's what we're building on right now, that's where our mind is, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't exist on the current systems as well."Though the latter half of this quote seems to hint at the possibility of Starfield coming to the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4, it should be taken with a grain of salt. As he says, Bethesda is still trying to nail down hardware requirements. And with a game so far out (no window of a release date has been announced) those requirements can shift in development.There is still very little known about Starfield, Bethesda's first original IP in 25 years. Howard has confirmed that it will be another expansive first-person adventure in the vein of Bethesda's other masthead series: the Elder Scrolls and Fallout. Beyond that, and the fact that Starfield will probably take place in space, we don't know much else.At the Bethesda E3 conference, Howard also announced The Elder Scrolls VI , and though little information was shared, read why we think Elder Scrolls VI may be set on familiar ground
