Starfield: Shattered Space. Massive Expansion

Starfield: Shattered Space is off course the massive expansion for the Game of the Generation, Starfield. An Xbox exclusive that passed having 14 million players, best selling game in September 2023 and was in the top 10 best selling games for the rest of that year. Won ‘Game of the year’ by Rectify Gaming, ‘Xbox game of the year’ by Golden Joystick and ‘most innovative game’ on steam. Starfield was so popular that tons of people kept playing and talking about this single player game even to this day. This Starfield is getting its biggest expansion yet. X35 Earthwalker is definitely watching this. Let’s take a look.

Starfield: Shattered Space to keep it simple brings in a whole new planet, new threat, new space suits, new unique weapons, gear and more. Of course the planet we are talking about is the home world of House Va’Ruun… Va’Ruun’kai. Andreja should be excited. X35 Earthwalker is definitely taking her along for the adventure. The location is the ‘city of Dazra’. The drama? A new cosmic threat. Players discover a distress signal. The warning is “Don’t board,” Off course we ain’t trying to hear that. So we board anyways and then… Go play and experience for yourself.

House Va’Ruun is obviously the most secretive and hidden faction of the big three of Starfield. They stay hidden on purpose and keep to themselves. Only very few members can be found like the House Va’Ruun ambassador in UC Atlantis. This is our opportunity to learn so much more about House Va’Ruun, see their architecture, witness their planet and who knows, maybe we will encounter an avatar or child of the great serpent.

Bethesda has made numerous great moves concerning Starfield and one of those is how they handled the updates. We got performance upgrades, then 60 frames, then local area and city maps, then mods and community mods, then even land vehicles the REV-8. Ut sets Starfield up for the bigger and better. The biggest and best is now here and that’s Shattered Space. Hopefully the developers make the new expansion achievements work even with mods. Hate to have to turn off mods and then do the achievements and then turn back on. That would be frustrating. 

We at X35 Earthwalker are definitely looking forward to Starfield: Shattered Space and exploring Va’Ruun’kai. Now since there will be some horror aspects and darkness. After all is has been described as a cosmic threat. We trust that the Shattered Space expansion carries on our current character. As in our starborn characters retain their abilities and can be used through the expansion. We are looking forward to encountering whole new fauna and flora as we know things are different for House Va’Ruun. The unique weapons need to actually be unique and not just three effects and some modifications.

Will Starfield: Shattered Space have a boss fight? With a certain mod players can face level 100 big mechs which have all the fire power. There’s even boss mods that create actual bosses too. So it’s possible to do in this Shattered Space expansion. What’s strange though is that we will be getting involved in the politics of House Va’Ruun. It’s described as a “tense political landscape'”. We will learn the history and even “help decide the fate of the faction”. It does make House Va’Ruun look kind of weak so far. That we can just come in and basically decide everything. Maybe that’s just the reality of the situation. Things are so bad that they are desperate. A political civil war or maybe House Va’Ruun is so secretive is because their numbers are low and they are actually weakest military wise but maybe the best technology. Maybe they sacrifice people to the great serpent. Let’s find out.

Overall we at X35 Earthwalker have a lot to look forward to. Starfield: Shattered Space is a major massive expansion that does things differently. Even major sections of the planet is literally hand crafted. There’s going to be a vortex grenade that can really shake things up. We hear that there’s even going to be some monsters that stalk you. Call them stalking abominations. This is unlike anything else we have seen. The Callisto Protocol fans might want to check this out too. Starfield: Shattered Space is going to be awesome. The developers Bethesda have done a fantastic job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker are going to dive in. Now Starfield: Shattered Space may have the great serpent but even that deity is just animal compared to… the ‘Earth Walk!’
