Bethesda Game Studios (BGS) next game will also feature the word Creation, just as the Creation Club used to appear in Fallout 4.

Modding on PC is a common feature of BGS games. As with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Fallout 4, Starfield will get a Creation Kit to create new planets, unique stories, and missions, confirmed by Bethesda’s head of marketing, Pete Hines during a live broadcast, but who knows how long we’ll have to wait for the toolkit. For the TES V: Skyrim, Fallout 4 duo, it was four months…

“We’re doing it, we said we are. There’s going to be mods; we’re going to release the Creation Kit. It will work like that if you’ve played Elder Scrolls or Fallout. It’s post-launch; we have no other information. We have a launch to get through. It’s coming. I get excited about this game because I love it so much, and I love what we’ve made and what the team made, but… there’s a lot more coming. And when you start to think about the kind of communities that come around Bethesda Game Studios games, and putting a tool like [the Creation Kit] in the hands of people to go… “How’d you like to make a planet?” All that will just be off the charts when you start getting the community to come in and add all the different things they want to bring. Their own stories they want to tell, whatever it is. Hell, I have a list of things I already want to mod,” Hines said.

Kotaku reported that a low-quality 45-minute gameplay video was uploaded to YouTube on August 22, where it disappeared after a copyright claim. It has also turned up on Reddit, and a sixty-second long recording remains on Imgur. The leaker went by the name memphian94 on social media, and in a video, he apologized for playing it unprofessionally but spoke highly of Starfield. The problem is that the leaker might have done a few crimes.

Memphian94, who has since been revealed to be Darin Tyrone Harris of Tennessee, sold several physical copies on an online storefront through Mercer with several other games, SSDs, or GoPro cameras. In a video, you can see copies of Todd Howard’s game, which he then packed in FedEx envelopes for mailing. However, on August 24, he was arrested for possession of cannabis (illegal in the state), theft of property between $2,500 and $10,000, and a third charge of theft of less than $1,000 in valuables. These may not be related to the Starfields case, but they might be… did he break into a store?

Harris is due back in court on August 28 after posting $10,000 bail…
