Todd Howard Reveals Percentage of Starfield Planets with Life

Todd Howard, the director of Bethesda's upcoming game Starfield, has revealed that only 10% of the game's 1,000 planets will have life on them. The rest will serve different purposes, such as collecting resources or exploring major cities and settlements. While the planets are procedurally generated, individual locations are handcrafted, and some are placed specifically for quests. Howard believes that even the emptier planets have their merits, as they balance out the busier ones to create a believable universe. Starfield is one of the most anticipated video game releases in recent memory and features more handcrafted content than any other Bethesda game.
