With Starfield's first major expansion right around the corner, Bethesda wants players to know that Shattered Space could be a little more challenging than they expect. There's been a great deal of excitement surrounding the RPG's massive DLC as the community holds out hope that Shattered Space will deliver more of what they've come to love about Starfield. While the base game framed its sci-fi universe with a grounded lens, the expansion is looking to make players fear the great unknown by having them delve deeper into the mysterious House Va'ruun.
Over on Starfield's official blog, Bethesda recommends that Starfield players be at least Level 35 before tackling Shattered Space. The developer held off on providing details as to why that's necessary, simply hinting that Va’ruun’kai, the hidden homeworld of House Va'ruun, "is dangerous." Given everything known about the expansion, which seems to place more emphasis on combat encounters in the form of new intergalactic threats, it stands to reason that a decently equipped character is needed to face down the enemies; Fortunately, leveling in Starfield is fairly quick for a game of its size.
