Sometimes we love our favourite video game franchises so much that we’re always on the lookout to absorb as much content and added lore as humanly possible.
One such piece of content that adds the desired lore is the Starfield mini-series which gives us major 80s and 90s anime vibes. The series in question is ‘The Settled Systems - A Starfield Animated Anthology’.
Checkout the Starfield story trailer below!
In total, the animated series consists of three wonderful episodes and tells the story of the unsung heroes of Starfield’s major cities including New Atlantis (the biggest city Bethesda has ever created), Akila City and finally, Neon.
In ‘Supra Et Ultra’: “In the city of New Atlantis, capital of the United Colonies, a courier pilot named Kent aspires to live in the most desirable part of the Settled Systems. After joining the UC Vanguard and working his way up to the Capital’s elite, Kent quickly realises the adventures waiting for him off-planet are what he truly longed for.”

‘Where Hope is Built’, tells the tale of: “Vanna—an Akila City orphan of the famous Colony Wars—desperately wants to explore the stars, and only one thing is standing in her way: a working ship. Her search for repair parts leads her throughout the city, and into some unexpected danger, as she closes in on her dream.”

Finally, in ‘The Hand that Feeds’: “Two Neon street rats, Ada and Harper, are partners in crime eking out a living stealing from the wealthy partygoers that come to the “pleasure city” to let loose. When Ada is forced into a moral dilemma, she quickly catches the attention of the all-seeing Ryujin industries, bringing her an exciting new opportunity. But at what cost?”

Starfield will be released on 6 September 2023 for PC and Xbox Series X|S. Unless you pre-order the Premium or Constellation Edition, in which case it will be 1 September. Starfield will also launch day one on Xbox Game Pass.
