I look at the response to Oblivion Remastered, and it seems fair to argue that there is still plenty of goodwill towards Bethesda. Yes, the wait for The Elder Scrolls 6 has been going on for years. Yes, Starfield fell short of players' collective expectations. But Bethesda is still the studio that made Fallout 3, Skyrim, and Morrowind. And its reputation, even if it is a little dented, remains largely solid. Oblivion Remastered helped Bethesda earn back some iration. So, perhaps the new Starfield update can help restore the credibility of its most divisive game. Alongside a number of bug fixes and gameplay tweaks, there's a new Starfield DLC. But although it's endorsed by Bethesda, it's actually created by the team behind some of Fallout 4's most beloved mods.
Welcome to Watchtower, the new RPG modding studio that also created the enormous Bard's College expansion for Skyrim and the revolutionary Sim Settlements for Fallout 4. Centring on the eponymous galactic group, it follows the Starborn as they're targeted by Watchtower for assassination. Your job is to infiltrate its ranks, capture its high-tech weaponry, and destroy its leaders.
That means new ship attachments and gear, including one extremely useful tool that lets you call in missile strikes from planetary orbit – if you get pinned down in a gunfight, you can hail for and rain down explosives from the stratosphere. The Watchtower DLC was originally scheduled to arrive on Tuesday May 20, but it was held back two days to ensure that it worked correctly alongside the new Starfield update.
Speaking of which, you can now set Starfield's visuals and other settings to 'very low,' if you're trying to run the game on certain rigs. There are also extra resolutions, a variety of bug and performance fixes, and a useful change that lets players larger material to the Creation Club – allowing the import of files up to 2GB in size. That update, alongside the Watchtower DLC, is available today, Thursday May 22.
