Summary
Starfieldfans will have to surf the internet with caution for the next few weeks leading up to the September 6 release date as story details have begun appearing online. This is unfortunate news sinceStarfieldis easily one of the most anticipated games of 2023, and while story spoilers won’t entirely ruin the experience they can make the game less exciting.
While a lot of things are known aboutStarfieldthe developers have been careful not to reveal more than necessary about the story. Fans already know several details about the setting ofStarfieldas well as some gameplay elements and some details about the game’s lore, but until now much of the story has been shrouded in mystery. Rightly so, since roleplaying games tend to live or die by the strength of their stories.

Streamer and YouTuber Darrius Fears warnedStarfieldfans not to go under the game’s tab on Reddit in a tweet. The YouTuber, whose Twitter handle is TheRealDfea, explains that the entire story has somehow been leaked, going on to say that he is unsure of where it all started. In another tweet Fears advisedfans to ignore anything with the word “Starfield"or “human” in it. Naturally such leaks are bound to make their way onto other platforms and there are those who derive some kind of pleasure out of spoiling stories for others, so gamers who are looking forward toStarfieldwill have to be extra cautious in the coming weeks.
In an effort to helpStarfieldfans Darrius Fears has been sharing profiles of users who are trying to spoil the game for others. While it might be impossible to avoid all the ne’er-do-wells out there who enjoy spoiling games for others, it is admirable that Fears is trying to help others by calling out the individuals who are actively sharingStarfieldstory details. Bethesda has previously revealedinformation about theStarfieldprotagonistsbut did so without straying into spoiler territory. It would, of course, be foolish to intentionally spoil one’s own game before release, but sadly there are those who won’t think twice about doing so.
It turns out thatTodd Howard is the only person authorized to divulge unreleasedStarfieldinformation, which makes sense since he is the executive producer of Bethesda Game Studios. While he likely knows more than anyone else aboutStarfield, he does not have a strong presence on social media and has not been known to share more information than necessary on upcoming games.
Starfieldreleases September 6 for PC and Xbox Series X/S.
