Starfield game director Todd Howard continues to make the rounds in advance of Starfield's September release, giving us a little more insight into just what the sci-fi epic is going to be when it finally comes out. Turns out that it's going to be pretty lonely, apparently: Howard says that "about 10 percent" of the game's 1000+ planets will have life on them as Bethesda tries to capture "the magnificent desolation" of the universe.
Howard was chatting Starfield in today's episode of the Kinda Funny Xcast when the question of the game's many, many procgen planets came up. Asked about how much handcrafted content there would be on those planets, and whether there would really be much for players to do, Howard answered, "there's no way we're going to go and handcraft an entire planet".
