'I Don’t Think Starfield Was Anywhere Near Successful Enough to Do a Starfield 2' – Former Bethesda Dev Casts Doubt on Sequel
Former Bethesda Lead Systems Designer Kurt Kuhlmann spoke to FRVR, and when he was asked about a potential Starfield sequel, he told the outlet "I don’t think Starfield was anywhere near successful enough to do a Starfield 2."
Bethesda is still developing new DLC for Starfield, but a sequel is not expected any time soon, according to a former lead systems designer, Kurt Kuhlmann. Kuhlmann told FRVR that he believes Starfield was not successful enough to warrant a sequel. Despite mixed reviews, IGN's reviewer Dan Stapleton found the game to be engaging, particularly its expansive roleplaying quests and solid combat.
Kuhlmann expressed regret that a sequel could have been more closely aligned with the vision of Todd Howard, the company's CEO. Bethesda has continued to support the game with updates, but it is evident that the game fell short of its intended ambition. Starfield's developer, Bethesda, is currently focused on releasing The Elder Scrolls VI, while Obsidian is developing a new Fallout game.
