Starfield’s former systems designer Kurt Kuhlmann has publicly cast serious doubt on the future of Bethesda’s sci-fi RPG, suggesting the studio is unlikely to ever produce a sequel because the original “wasn’t anywhere near successful enough” to justify one. Speaking in an interview, Kuhlmann — who departed Bethesda shortly after the game’s 2023 launch — argued that a Starfield 2 would be a surprise, even as Bethesda and Microsoft continue to invest in the title and reaffirm its place in their long-term plans.
Then a follow-up paragraph about context.
[‘I Would Be Very Surprised’]
“I would be very surprised,” said Kuhlmann, who left Bethesda after Starfield was released. “I don’t think Starfield was anywhere near successful enough to do a Starfield 2.”

Looking Ahead
Let me flesh these out with good journalistic prose.
For the sales figures, I’ll be careful. Let me reference the budget and the estimates. I’ll say something like “While Bethesda has not officially disclosed Starfield’s sales figures, industry estimates suggest the title has generated substantial revenue since its launch, enough to recoup its reported development budget.” I’ll be measured.
Actually, I recall that Starfield reportedly sold around 1.1 million copies in its first week. And by early 2025, estimates put lifetime revenue around $1.1 billion. Let me include these but frame them as estimates.
