Starfield is coming, but Bethesda still hasn't given many reasons to care

After years of speculation and mounting hype, Starfield finally got its grand reveal during Microsoft and Bethesda's E3 2021 show. Well, sort of. Todd Howard took the stage at the top of the show to introduce a new two-minute trailer for the game. The clip shows an astronaut walking around a spaceship as a voice-over teases some of the universe's lore. After some long interior shots (including one close-up of a very detailed sandwich), the pilot reaches the cockpit of the ship and looks out at a planet's sprawling surface as a mech trots by. We finally get a glimpse at the game's 2022 release date and then the title.
