As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that Bethesda has hit the mark again with their latest update for Starfield. The REV-8 all-terrain vehicle has breathed new life into this NASA-punk masterpiece, making exploration more exhilarating than ever before!

Starfield, Bethesda’s sci-fi first-person shooter role-playing game, is nearly a year past its autumn debut last year. As the studio’s initial new intellectual property in quite some time, Starfield garnered a mixed response from certain sections regarding its narrative and design. However, its portrayal of a NASA-inspired punk future and extensive locations to explore kept many players hooked, resulting in Starfield being one of 2023’s top-selling games. Since its launch, Starfield has received regular updates to iron out early issues and pave the way for additional content.

The most recent of these was just dropped during Gamescom 2024, via a trailer showcasing Starfield‘s latest update. Bethesda announced the addition of a drivable all-terrain vehicle, the REV-8, to Starfield, checking off a feature that had previously been highly requested. The trailer also teased more of its first major upcoming DLC, Shattered Space, which was given a firm release date. With its inclusion, the REV-8 provides a great incentive for fans to head back out into the far reaches of the galaxy, and simultaneously serves to ramp up buzz for Shattered Space.

The latest update for ‘Starfield’, known as REV-8, is currently free and accessible, whereas the Shattered Space Expansion Pack, due on September 30, 2024, will be a paid download.

Starfield’s REV-8 Finally Lets Fans Cruise Around the Universe in Speedy Style

In Starfield, you’ll find a vast collection of planets and celestial bodies, ripe for exploration. However, one common complaint is that these areas can become repetitive and rather barren over time. This monotony is alleviated by locations with intriguing features or those containing scarce and valuable resources. Unfortunately, the emptiness of other worlds, coupled with the occasional lengthy wait between discovering vibrant destinations and more drab moons, can occasionally dampen the overall experience.

In the past, exploring different areas in Starfield was only possible on foot. Even on planets with lower gravity or using a strong boost pack, it often felt like work instead of fostering a sense of awe and discovery. However, REV-8 appears to be addressing this issue. New footage shows REV-8 moving swiftly and performing impressive jumps thanks to its own propulsion system. Additionally, it seems that REV-8 carries at least one weapon, which adds to the excitement. These features are great additions and suggest exciting improvements for how Starfield plans to keep evolving.

How Starfield’s REV-8 Leads the Way to Shattered Space

The Shattered Space expansion for Starfield will center around House Va’ruun and their enigmatic plans. This is set to be the largest post-release content addition yet, sparking great anticipation among players. In the meantime, the REV-8 update addresses a much-requested feature, which may re-engage previous players and underscore Bethesda’s dedication to continually support Starfield well into its future.

As a gamer eagerly anticipating the new DLC, Shattered Space, I can’t help but notice some intriguing details about the upcoming adventure. From what we know so far, House Va’ruun’s home world, Va’ruun’kai, seems like a rugged, rocky terrain with irregular landforms and sharp structures scattered all over.
