Bethesda will have "more to share next week" on Starfield as Todd Howard modestly says his "only visionary power is seeing running lanes in EA College Football 26"

Rumblings about an incoming Starfield update have been swirling for months now, but Bethesda Game Studios has finally lifted the lid on when to expect more news from its spacefaring RPG.

To rewind, earlier this week Starfield composer Inon Zur called director Todd Howard a visionary. "Starfield will eventually become something that will be legendary," he added, while hinting that it's only "a matter of time" before people come around to Howard's vision of the great void.

The studio behind Skyrim and Fallout then responded to the flattery on social media with a tongue in cheek message.

"We ran this by Todd and he said his only visionary power is seeing running lanes in EA College Football 26," the developer writes on Twitter. "He appreciates all the passionate feedback on Starfield and we'll have more to share next week."

Starfield is reportedly dropping onto the PS5 next month, though there's been no official word from Bethesda just yet. Todd Howard himself also confirmed new Starfield updates aimed at existing fans are in the pipeline - just don't expect anything big enough to brand the game as "Starfield 2.0".

"For expectation setting, I think it's the kind of thing where if you love Starfield, we think you're gonna love this," Howard said earlier in the year in an interview with Kinda Funny. "It's updates and things that change the game, not in an isolated way, but sort of 'meta.' Using outer space and things in ways that we haven't."

Next week's announcement should clear up whatever's happening with both the PlayStation port and the new update.

Skyrim lead thinks Starfield "would be talked about like the second coming" if a new studio made it, but "expectations were so much higher" with Bethesda
