Bethesda's Todd Howard Compares Starfield's Ending to Underrated Tom Cruise Film

Todd Howard said Starfield’s ending was intentionally designed to leave players with a postgame feeling similar to Edge of Tomorrow.

He explained that The Unity and New Game Plus were meant to make players reflect on leaving a universe behind, including relationships and possessions.

Bethesda wants players to weigh the choice of starting over, repetition, and loss as part of the ending’s impact.

Howard also said New Game Plus will be adjusted in future Starfield updates.
