According to what emerged from a leak from China and reported by Insider Gaming, the planets that we will be able to visit during the Starfield campaign will have invisible barriers aim to specify Areas to really explore.
In fact there didn’t seem to be a problem: the authors of the leak reported that to find a barrier it was necessary to walk in a straight line through it Forty minutes from the landing siteWhich proves that the explorable regions of Starfield would have an equal expanse Modern open world.
Not all of it: Upon reaching a barrier, the game will ask if we want to open the map to explore another area of the planet or return to our ship, and practically all areas that can be visited must have the same extension.
With that in mind, it was inevitable that Bethesda would take measures to somehow limit the potential for exploitation of the Thousand Planets in Starfield, given that we’re talking about real planetsin Unlimited dimensions where you want to roam around them.
However, the established system still seems to guarantee very large and wide areas to roam freely and where you can discover something interesting, in addition to the towns and places of interest that characterize every star in the game.
to update: This is just a rumor, and it seems that this only happens on the educational moon. Jez Corden of Windows Central denied that this was the case and said he was waiting for reviews.
This is actually not entirely accurate.
