Former Starfield Developer Doubts Bethesda Will Make a Sequel

A former Bethesda systems designer who worked on *Starfield* has cast doubt on whether the game will receive a sequel, saying they did not believe the original was “anywhere near successful enough” to justify *Starfield 2*.

The developer said they would be surprised if Bethesda pursued a sequel but described that prospect as “too bad.” They argued that another installment could be “really cool” and might more fully deliver on the original project’s ambition of creating “the ultimate game.” Bethesda has not announced *Starfield 2*.
