Looks like Starfield will let you pilot your own mech suit

The hype just keeps on amassing forStarfield. Let’s be honest, the hype has been building for years but as we learn more about Bethesda’s latest RPG in the lead up to its 6 September release date, the more we’re confident thatStarfieldwill defy all expectations.

We’ve known for quite some time thatStarfieldis set to haveover 1,000 planets. It was only recently unveiled though thatonly around 10% of these will contain signs of life. Don’t write off the other 900. You’ll need those for valuable resources. It’s no real surprise then that the game’sStar Map may just be the biggest thingwe’ve ever seen. Likewise, the game itself boasts ahefty file size. Want to dive straight in on release day? Xbox Game Pass subscribers canpre-download the game. Despite it being a whopper, the main campaign is actuallya very reasonable length, but I digress. In the latest update, it’s been discovered that we may be able to pilot our own mechs further down the line.

Take a look atStarfield’s latest trailer below.

Vanna explains exactly how she became an orphan and,spoiler alert, her parents died during the Colony Wars. It’s unveiled that they were both mech pilots which has got fans asking if we ourselves might be able to pilot mechs during our playthrough. It would be odd for this short to touch on this prospect if it’s never going to be something that’s playable. Then again, Bethesda has already said thatStarfieldwon’t feature any ground vehicles.

Fans did point out though that Todd Howard has confirmed thatStarfieldwill be getting “a lot of add-on content” so it stands to reason that mechs could come to the game further down the line, or even in their own specific DLC. We know very little about theShattered SpaceDLC. We’ll have to watch this space, pardon the pun.
