Starfield

Starfield is the first new universe in 25 years from Bethesda, the award-winning studio that brought us The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Fallout 4. In this next generation role-playing game set amongst the stars, you can create any character you want and explore with unparalleled freedom!

Embark on an epic journey to answer humanity’s greatest mystery, construct or commandeer spaceships and build an impressive crew in this innovative game set in 2310! With this being the first new concept from Bethesda in a quarter century, fans were unsure as to whether the company could keep up with today’s competition.

As soon as gameplay trailers dropped and we got a good look at the mechanics of the game, however, everyone has been hyping up Starfield non-stop! Starfield is (literally) going to be Bethesda’s biggest game featuring over 1000 explorable planets with their own bustling cities and wild landscapes!

Pre-order Starfield for Xbox Series X before its release on September 6th so you can play on day one!

Play as a cunning street thief with nightmarish visions in the latest instalment to the Assassin’s Creed franchise. Play as Basim, a member of an ancient organisation, as you come to understand a creed that will change his fate in ways he never could have imagined.

The cinematic trailer shows us the dramatic nature of the game with heart-pumping gameplay and some of the most extreme combat to date! Become the most versatile assassin in franchise history and parkour seamlessly through the historic city of Baghdad whilst leveraging the largest assortment of tools to date. Get contracts at the Assassin’s Bureaus, collect vital clues and stealthily take down targets with more visceral assassinations than ever before.
