The upcoming game “Starfield” is generating excitement, and a new timeline has been revealed that provides the backstory leading up to the events of the game. “Starfield” is a highly anticipated RPG set in space, and its official website has detailed a timeline spanning from 2050 to two years before the game’s events in 2328.
The timeline highlights key milestones in the history of mankind’s colonization and exploration of space, as well as the conflicts that shaped the universe of “Starfield.” Here are some of the key points from the timeline:
- 2100: Humans begin living in space.
- 2156: Humans arrive at Alpha Centauri, a star system 4.37 light years away from Earth.
- 2159: The United Colonies are established.
- 2196: The Narion War, the first major intergalactic conflict, begins.
- 2216: The Treaty of Narion is established, leading to the formation of the Freestar Rangers.
- Before 2307: Constellation, the organization players work for in “Starfield,” is formed.
- 2307: The Colony War begins, and Constellation acquires its first artifact.
Interestingly, the timeline provides limited information about Earth itself, with only a brief mention of humans arriving at Alpha Centauri. The focus is more on the events and conflicts that shaped the universe beyond Earth.
As “Starfield” releases on September 6 for Xbox Series X and PC, this timeline will likely provide players with a deeper understanding of the game’s lore and context. It remains to be seen how these historical events will connect to the main narrative of the game, but the timeline certainly adds an extra layer of depth to the “Starfield” universe.
