When, exactly, are land vehicles coming?

[DuX1112]

Are they added in this update or the next? The presentation said they are "testing them"... So just wondering? Maybe will be added at a later time, or will they be ready in time for this update. What do you think?

They won't be added to this update. The beta is posted and I doubt much will change between the beta and final release based on how Bethesda has handled these previously. My guess is land vehicles will be added in either June or July.

The testing they are talking about is internal, and that will take a while.

They said in the update blog that it'll be with the expansion in the Fall.

Most will have become bored and uninstalled this by then.

No mention of an actual release date.

They said "wait for news in the coming months".

Translation: Sometime in 2025, maybe holiday season 2024 if you're lucky.

Adding vehicles isn't easy when you are adding an expansion at the same time.

Halloween will certainly bring Starfield fans a lot of treats, but I wouldn't bet on vehicle addition in the fall.

People will will be jumping for joy when the rovers arrive.

Safe bet, early 2025. Don't hold your breath until Christmas.

You might combust.

Damn looks like my vehicle thread was deleted!

Guess I will just put my prediction here

People have been saying that the creation engine is incapable of vehicles and I think this implementation of vehicles will be the lamest attempt at a vehicle seen in game.

If you actually watch the footage the vehicle seems to be moving rather slow and handles suspiciously like the horse from Skyrim.

Pretty sure the vehicle that we end up getting will have nowhere near the speed or the nuance in handling one would expect from a vehicle, even if we use the Make from Mass Effect 1 as a baseline which was a game released in 2007 2 console generations ago and wasn't a technical masterpiece itself I highly doubt the vehicle Bethesda releases will reach even that baseline of quality.

If I were to hazard a guess, in a Big Summer Update as the first major update to planet generation and rework of planets spawns.

They usually have a dedicated team to handle each expansion, since it isn't a small indie studio.

You would be running 2 - 4 teams at a time.

So they would have a dedicated team already working on DLC 2 and DLC 3

BGS used to make drag racing games with Gamebryo. Ashley Cheng (the studio director) was in charge of them. They know how to make vehicles lol
