Starfield‘s Shattered Space DLC has met with an unexpected outpouring of fan disappointment. Released on September 30, 2024 – just over a year after the base game’s initial launch – Shattered Space was supposed to breathe new life into a stagnating Starfield. It would explore the underdeveloped House Va’ruun faction from the base game, introducing new locales, weapons, armor, and lots more in a terrifying story that had more flavor on one planet than the base game had in an entire galaxy.
