Starfield Shattered Space Overview

Here’s an overview of what to expect from the first major expansion:

In Shattered Space, Starfield’s first major expansion, players will visit the homeworld of House Va’ruun for the first time. Explore a fully handcrafted new location and unravel the mysteries surrounding the followers of the Great Serpent. House Va’ruun is on the brink of collapse and their people need help finding a path forward. When your sudden presence on their hidden home planet is seen by some as divine intervention, it’s up to you to restore House Va’ruun and decide the fate of this secretive faction.

Throughout the base game, the majority of your interactions with House Va’ruun come in the form of attacks from zealots. Your first introduction probably came from the UC Vanguard museum where you learned about the bloody Serpent’s Crusade. It paints House Va’ruun as a one-dimensional religious cult. In Shattered Space you’ll see the other side and begin to fill in some of the missing details in the story.

A Civilization in Ruin

You arrive on Va’ruun’kai to find the capital city in chaos. A massive vortex had recently devastated Dazra, swallowing huge chunks of the city. Residents are searching for missing loved ones and attempting to put their lives back together, and they don’t seem entirely pleased by your arrival.

But what is this vortex? What happened to the people that disappeared into it? Who will lead the people now? Throughout your journey in Shattered Space, you’ll uncover the truth behind what caused the vortex to appear and in doing so, decide the fate of House Va’ruun.

An Isolated New Location

For years the people of House Va’ruun have been cut off from the Settled Systems, which made them the perfect faction to explore in a completely self-contained experience. The entire story takes place on this new, handcrafted planet.

Starfield Shattered Space DLC launches on September 30 for Xbox Series and PC.
