While the ESRB description hints at the inclusion of DLC, microtransactions, and premium mods, a recent rumor proposes that Bethesda Softworks sought iD Software’s expertise to enhance the gameplay of the eagerly awaited Starfield. However, it is important to approach this rumor with caution as it originates from a 4chan post.
The rumor suggests that the creators of DOOM Eternal and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus offered their assistance to improve Starfield’s gameplay, likely focusing on the shooting mechanics, for the sci-fi RPG directed by Todd Howard.
iD Software’s Role in Revamping Starfield’s Combat
According to the rumor, iD Software collaborated with Bethesda to revamp Starfield’s combat system, joining the project in August of the previous year.
The source claims to have close ties with an individual at iD Software who revealed this information, stating that the gameplay has significantly improved since last year’s Xbox showcase.
Although verifying the rumor’s source is impossible, the idea of Bethesda Softworks enlisting iD Software to assist with Starfield’s gunplay aspects doesn’t seem far-fetched.
In fact, the DOOM creators have previously offered support to Bethesda’s internal studios to enhance the first-person shooting mechanics in other games.
Starfield Direct and Xbox Showcase
To witness Starfield in action, fans simply need to wait until June 11, when the Starfield Direct event will take place, followed by the Xbox Showcase.
These events will provide a closer look at the game and reveal whether iD Software’s involvement has indeed improved the gameplay experience.
