We're now down to a little over a month before cosmic tumblers align, the heavens burst forth accompanied by an angelic fanfare, and Bethesda Game Studios' magnum opus, "Starfield," triumphantly arrives on September 6, 2023.

Delivered by the award-winning creators of "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" and 'Fallout 4," "Starfield" is a next-generation role-playing video game blossoming amid the shimmering stars and developed on a staggering scale where players can easily lose themselves (and weeks!) exploring over 1,000 planets, moons, and asteroids.
