Starfield fans discovered three unlisted videos from Bethesda that reveal the lore behind some of the locations players might visit in the upcoming space RPG.
Earlier today, social media users began sharing three unlisted videos by Bethesda that offer a brief insight into locations in the game including cities called New Atlantis, Neon, and Akila.
While these videos are unlisted, Bethesda confirmed to IGN that these videos were actually shared with members of Constellation, a community club that people can sign up for on the Starfield website. Constellation members will get some new info, like these videos, first.
#Starfield – Insight into some of its locations:
The "pleasure city" of Neon, the United Colonies capital city of New Atlantis, and capital of the Freestar Collective, Akila.

While these videos are now floating around online, they’re all quite brief — less than 50 seconds per video.
They offer a nice summary of three locations players will encounter in Starfield. This includes the metropolitan New Atlantis, the capital city of the United Colonies who are the most powerful and established military and political faction in the game.
There’s also Akila City the capital of the Free Star Collective, a loose confederation of three star systems and a bastion for personal freedom in space. And finally, there’s Neon, a pleasure city that began as a fishery before the ZenoFresh Corporation discovered one of the native fish species has psychotropic properties, transforming this outpost into a vice city.
Bethesda officially unveiled Starfield earlier this year as an Xbox exclusive and so far it's sounding very much like “Skyrim in Space.” Check out everything we know about Starfield so far in the video above, and keep an eye out for more potential news drops from Bethesda.
