Answered"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Bethesda’s Starfield has been a hugely anticipated title for some time, promising players the ability to forge their own story in a futuristic galaxy with a huge number of planets, species and civilizations. But when does it take place, exactly? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Is Starfield Set?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Starfield<\/a> is set in the year 2,330, putting it 307 years in the future.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For context, 307 years in the other direction would take us to 1716, when the United States of America didn’t exist and George I was King of England. The gist here is that it’s a long <\/em>way into the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naturally, the futuristic setting lets players have access to technologies, ships and weapons that fit with the space exploration theme and sci-fi setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s more to it than that though, with the year it’s set being important to the game’s lore and plot too. The multiple Factions available in Starfield, like UC Vanguard<\/a> and Constellation<\/a>, have a history of war and friction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specifically, the United Colonies and Freestar Collective were engaged in a lengthy and costly battle over territory and influence in the Settled Systems. This war only ended in 2,310 \u2013 20 years prior to the game’s setting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, player’s Spacefarer is thrown into a galaxy that’s tense and hanging to peace by a thread. It’s a political situation the player has to navigate as they explore, considering which Faction they want to join and which decisions they make (because goodness knows there’ll be consequences).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s everything to know on the year Starfield is set in. <\/strong>For everything else Bethesda’s<\/a> 2023 title, including all ship controls<\/a> and the best traits<\/a>, stay with us right here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
