Despite the game having a November 11 release date, not too much is currently known about Starfield. However, in a new interview, Bethesda Game Studios’ audio director Mark Lampert has seemingly confirmed that players will be able to explore the vastness of space and not just the planets that make up Starfield.
Lampert starts by explaining how “the music is the companion to the player in the single player game,” and that in creating it, “our sense of scale had to be totally readjusted” because as well as “making a game on a planetary surface as we have done before (they now) have these very vast distances against this black, starry background” to soundtrack.
“It is a blank canvas and a massive playground – all the pieces are there for you to write your own story,” he added.
The music of Starfield will accompany you on your greatest adventures yet.
