Bethesda have been busy on their Twitter/X account today in preparation for Starfield’s Early Access launch and the lifting of the review embargo. One of their posts includes a video titled “Hostiles Inbound: Combat Skills and Weaponry” which runs for one minute and 21 seconds.

The video shows off some of the game’s combat mechanics, including:

Stealth
Unarmed fighting
Boost pack jumps
Several different Weapons
Throwable mines
What appears to be some sort of psionic power

The footage is mostly stuff we’ve seen before in the Developer Direct video, but is cut together in a nice concise overview of what we can expect from Starfield’s combat. You can view the full video in the tweet below.

Not everyone you meet in space will be friendly. âš”ï¸

With a wide variety of weapons, mods, and skills, you can fight exactly how you want. #Starfield pic.twitter.com/oHNaKKFYeR

I love RPGs, sandboxes, survival, and sim games. Anything that lets me build and decorate or just has a really good story. I've spent hundreds of hours in Bethesda games and even more time modding them. I also play a lot of World of Warcraft.
