Bethesda Releases New Starfield Video About Your Robot Companion, Vasco

Bethesda just released a video all about Vasco. Vasco was the robot companion in the previous trailers. This will help you navigate the stars. 

In the video, which runs a little over a minute, Starfield’s lead artist, Istvan Pely, highlights what to expect from Vasco. He says the robot is meant for, well, everything – Vasco is great for space travel, on-land traversal, defensive needs, and more. Although little information is available about Starfield’s origins, this video suggests that Vasco will join us in Starfield for most of the time, if any, of the game.

Here’s what Pely says about Vasco in the video, in full: 

“We’re excited to introduce you to one of our favorite companions in the game. Constellation’s very own expeditionary robot, Vasco. As an early model built by Lunar Robotics, Vasco is refurbished to meet the requirements of Constellation’s mission. He’s a utilitarian, heavy-industrial machine well-suited for the rigors of space travel. Vasco’s design is based on a standard Type-A bi-pedal chassis, capable of traversing rough terrain, with all the survival gear and payload capacity needed for extended overland journeys. Vasco can be used to defend himself if necessary, but his main role is one of peace. He is a Constellation soldier who wears Constellation’s white and red uniform, although he has spent many years on the field and the paint has been scratched. But he’s still the reliable companion that an intrepid explorer, like yourself, can depend on.”

This trailer explains Starfield’s history, as well as information on bloody wars and violent space pirates. It also reveals some galactic mysteries. Watch these three Starfield videos that showcase some of the locales we’ll be visiting in-game after that and then watch this Starfield developer diary that discusses the game’s open world freedom. 

Starfield is exciting you? We want to hear from you in the comments!
