Update 12 May 2022: Bethesda has announced on Twitter that Starfield has been delayed until the first half of 2023.
If you haven't heard about it yet, Starfield is going to be the debut entry in an entirely new franchise and marks the first single-player RPG released by BGS since Fallout 4 all the way back in 2015. The details of the new game world and story have not been fully revealed yet and we've been eagerly following the "Into The Starfield" video series as it teases more and more information about the upcoming title.
What we do know is Starfield will be using an updated version of the Creation Engine which has been used to power Skyrim, Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 (which is in itself an evolution of the Gamebyro Engine used by older titles). Todd Howard has also confirmed in an AMA on Reddit that Starfield will have full mod support, which is great news for our community!
So what are we doing to prepare for Starfield? Glad you asked! We're slowly ramping up our efforts to create a community space for Starfield. This is comprised of a few parts:
- Starfield Modding Discord - We could have simply added Starfield channels to our main server, but this time around we felt it would be far better to separate the Starfield discussion into its own server. There are already some interesting conversations happening there, including early planning of a Community Patch for the game. If you're interested in modding Starfield, please do check it out.
- Starfield Modding Forums - We've created a new forum category where you can talk about the game, modding or even share your ideas for mods.
- Starfield Modding Wiki - While it's pretty barebones right now, we plan to use the Modding.wiki site for Starfield to serve as a hub for important information about modding which would otherwise be lost to obscurity in forum posts, Discord servers or Reddit threads.
- Starfield Game Section - Coming November 2022. We'll be opening the doors on the site section to share your mods, images, videos and collections for Starfield.
That's not all, we're also actively engaging with our friends at Bethesda to learn more about the game and get more modding-specific information that we can share with mods authors, tool developers and the community to allow us to work together to create a modding community that could rival the ones for their previous games.
Are you as excited as we are for Starfield? What kinds of mods would you like to see? Join the discussion on the forums.
Don't forget to wishlist Starfield on Steam or join Constellation on Bethesda's website to stay updated.

2) If the game or game type is not for you, then don't buy it.
3) You have not spent any money on the game or any time making a mod for the game.
4) The game is not even released yet, and all you can do is b&@*$ and complain. If all that you want to do is take out your frustrations and complain, then do it somewhere else.
5) If you think that you could do a better job then go for it, otherwise shut up and grow up.
And latest for Oblivion?
I am extremely excited to see what we can do with Starfield really. :D More excited over this than I am over TES 6 right now as I played TES since 1996 TES 2 Daggerfall and I need a break from it ;)
Here is my latest and biggest mod project ever if you wanna peek at what might be possible to make? The Legacy of the Champion and I wanna make something similar for Starfield, no doubt. :) That mod is loosely based on the ideas behind The Legacy of the Dragonborn but with my own designs, mostly. I bet the whole Skyrim modding community will start making stuff as soon as we get our hands on the Construction kit, but do remeber what did happen 2011, nothing, well Skyrim came out but Construction Kit was released first 2012-2013... :/ So honestly, if Bethesda do the same again, We might not be able to mod this game until 2024-2025, not proper. Do recall that some low level editors was released 2011 that broke a broken game. Skyrim SE is exetremely stabile but it sure took years for Bethesda to fix all issues + the unofficial bugfixes of course. We still need Construction Kit to be ablke to make proper bugfixes never the less. The game will be full of bugs in September and Todd Howard will be yelled at again :D
