Editor's note: Are you looking for the latest on Bethesda's E3 2019 press conference? Of course you are. And if you need info on all out E3 2019 coverage, it's all here too.

Bethesda has The Elder Scrolls. It revived Fallout, Doom and Wolfenstein. And now, it's headed to the stars.

At its E3 2018 press conference Sunday, Bethesda confirmed that the long-rumored title Starfield is indeed happening.

"Starfield is a game we've spent years thinking about and working on," Bethesda director and executive producer Todd Howard told the crowd at E3. As Bethesda itself noted, it's been a long time since it released a brand-new franchise.
