The highly anticipated Terran Armada DLC for Starfield is on its way, and it appears Bethesda has some significant surprises in store that were kept under wraps during its promotional reveals.
While the official launch is set for April 7th, an early leak of Steam achievements has ignited considerable speculation. The primary mystery centers around a new location: New Babylon. Unmentioned in any marketing materials, a specific achievement for defeating a powerful bot there strongly implies it could be a sprawling metropolis, a vast space station, or even an entirely new planet, poised to become a central hub for the DLC’s storyline.
It seems Bethesda may have taken player feedback regarding ’empty’ outposts to heart. New challenges within the achievements suggest the base-building system will receive a fresh lease on life and a more integral role. The achievement titled ‘This for That’ hints at the ability to transfer player-built bases to various factions. This potential change would elevate outposts from simple storage facilities into dynamic elements within the galactic political landscape, reminiscent of the settlement mechanics found in Fallout 4’s Nuka-World DLC.
New companions are also expected to join players on their journey. One in particular is Delta, a robot described as having ambiguous morality—neither purely evil nor conventionally heroic. Fans are already drawing parallels between Delta and the iconic HK-47 from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.
Further insights from the achievement system also suggest a mechanic for fully leveling up companions, pointing towards a deep customization aspect that Bethesda has yet to officially unveil.
