It's been five years since Bethesda registered the Starfield trademark and the developer has only recently publicly spoken about the fact it is the name of a game that it's working on. Besides a very brief teaser trailer, there was very little to go on.

It's not much to go on so we'll have to rampantly speculate until next E3. I suspect you play a farmer who must plough a field of stars, but that's just me. If you want more on Starfield then, unfortunately, pickings are slim. There is, however, a Starfield trailer you can now watch… over and over again. It's not much but it'll have to do until we get more.
