Can you believe we're only like six months out from Starfield? We know, we know, remain calm. Anyway, to satiate our appetites Bethesda has dropped another of its video docs, and this one is all about audio.
Bethesda Game Studios audio director Mark Lampert, and Starfield composer Inon Zur discuss all things Starfield audio, including the game's sweeping, orchestral soundtrack. Lampert touched on how early the soundtrack comes into equation, comparing Starfield's development with Oblivion and Fallout 3.
Everything I've worked on at this studio, the music started very early on, as early as the concept art for the game, from when I began here in 2005. At that time, Oblivion was already well, well underway, but as we went onto Fallout 3 after that, that was one of the first things I worked on music-wise, was the main theme. And that's always been the case, where the main theme sets the tone for everything else we do in the game, and there's time throughout the entire project for that to evolve.
Both Lampert and Zur went on to talk about how big of a role music plays in Bethesda adventures, and that's no different with Starfield. It links right into the player's gameplay experience and from the music played in this particular video, it's sounding pretty epic!
Now, we know, we haven't seen much gameplay and we're waiting on that too. Starfield should be fully revealed at whatever showcase Xbox is planning this summer, fingers crossed. In the meantime, some gameplay screenshots did leak earlier this month, if you'd like to see the game in its early stages of development.
Are you still excited about Starfield? Or are you purely waiting for gameplay at this stage? Let us know in the comments.

Eagerly awaiting a Gameplay deep dive
G a m e p l a y R e v e a l
And the wait continues....
This drip feeding is giving me blue balls lol
I think we'll have to wait for Xbox's non E3 event to start seeing something of substance, and after that' we'll be getting steady reveals of aspects of the game each month.
Until then, this is the best we'll get. I haven't played a marquee Bethesda title since maybe Fallout 3 and that was decently received as was 4, so I have faith this will turn out to be good as well.
@themightyant lol that is something
Hopefully we will see something this summer looking forward to this game.
The score is a huge part of what makes Skyrim so deeply satisfying to inhabit, despite its visuals being an obstacle to immersion this late into its lifetime. I hope the music is as prominent in Starfield as it is in Skyrim. In fact I wish music were a more prominent part of video games in general. I know that's a broad statement, but I always find myself turning effects volume down and music volume up in any game mix.
I can't wait for this. My favourite type of game now in my favourite genre. I expect it will be delayed until next year like everything is though.
idk how unintelligent you'd have to be to not understand that Starfield will be fully revealed at the Bethesda showcase
it's actually so embarrassing, all of the commenters above who have ZERO critical thinking skills, shame
@UltimateOtaku91 lmao go back to PushSquare
@magicismoney Yeah it's pretty obvious it will be shown at the Xbox event in June.
Surely we’ll see this game in the next couple of months right!? I don’t much care for these little drops of info.
June is gonna make people lose their minds!!!
@Solidchief to us maybe, ah well they cant steal my excitement for the reveal 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵
@RevGaming Coming soon, summer is getting closer by the day.
Can’t wait to see it in action myself. With no Zelda for a few months after release, i should be able to sink sometime into it.
@nofriendo i agree as music is something that just moves me and gets my mind into it more. Hard to explain . But for me Halo always got the music right. Playing the Master Chief Collection and Infinite is music to my ears. Yes the cheesy pun was intended
Haha
@magicismoney Bethesda will be with Xbox at whatever Summer event MS chooses. Lots of games will be shown and i could careless how they decide to do it or where, i just want to see more of what Xbox’s studios have been working on. I am excited as we should be as gamers. The wait is what makes it that much more exciting. I say that as I’m counting down the day’s to June HAHA
@Rural-Bandit I'm leaving gaming if I don't see Todd Howards face during Starfield gameplay reveal.
@RevGaming HAHA , well i know what you mean.
He will be there, this has been his work for years and years
He will be there would be my guess, at least on video showing off gameplay.
In November... the empire strikes back! The console wars continue, with the fate of the gaming universe in the balance! (Cue dramatic music...)
@magicismoney Nothing is less genuine than people pretending they don't remember "showcase season" is in June(ish). Too eager to have an "angry Youtube react" moments.
