Bethesda Hints at “Terran Armada” as Second Major Starfield Expansion
Bethesda Game Studios provided the first concrete indication of its second major expansion for Starfield on September 5,2025,two years after the game’s initial launch. The announcement came via a “Happy Anniversary” post on the game’s official X (formerly Twitter) account, featuring subtly glitching text that resolved to reveal the name “Terran Armada.”
The name itself offers potential clues to the expansion’s content. “Terran” refers to Earth, and “Armada” denotes a large fleet of ships. Starfield‘s established lore details Earth becoming uninhabitable in the 23rd century due to atmospheric destabilization caused by experiments with grav-drive technology, necessitating a mass human exodus.This suggests the expansion may explore the period of humanity’s departure from Earth and the search for a new home. It could possibly depict the origins of interstellar conflicts within the Starfield universe.
Bethesda previously announced plans to release a significant expansion annually for Starfield. The first, Shattered Space, has already been released, leaving fans anticipating details of the second. The announcement of “Terran Armada” is particularly notable for players awaiting the PS5 version of Starfield, who hope to receive access to the new content alongside potential graphical improvements and PS5-exclusive features.
While it remains unconfirmed whether “Terran Armada” is the final title or a working title, the reveal signals Bethesda’s continued commitment to expanding Starfield‘s narrative and gameplay.
