Starfield offers a new look at three cities from its vast galaxy

With Starfield just weeks away from release, Bethesda are starting to help build up the hype levels, with a trio of new animated shorts released for the game.

The three shorts all focus on three of the major cities in the region known as the Settled Systems, New Atlantis, Akila City and Neon, first up is New Atlantis.

In the city of New Atlantis, capital of the United Colonies, Kent, a courier pilot, aspires to live in the most desirable part of the settled systems. After joining the UC Vanguard and working his way up to the Capital’s elite, Kent quickly realizes the adventures waiting for him off-planet are what he truly longed for.

Vanna—an Akila City orphan of the famous Colony War—desperately wants to explore the stars and only one thing stands in her way: a broken ship. Her search for repair parts leads her throughout the city, and into some unexpected danger, as she closes in on her dream.

Two Neon street rats, Ada and Harper, are partners in crime eking out a living stealing from the wealthy partygoers that come to the “pleasure city” to let loose. When Ada is forced into a moral dilemma, she quickly catches the attention of the all-seeing Ryujin Industries, bringing her an exciting new opportunity. But at what cost?

Starfield will release on September 6th, but the game will be playable on September 1st, if you opt to buy the Digital Premium Edition.
