Bethesda Trademarks ‘Starborn’, Which Could Be The Second Expansion For Starfield

Following Shattered Space

News of a fresh trademark from Bethesda parent company ZeniMax is doing the rounds today, and it’s strongly believed that this trademark relates to its 2023 RPG Starfield – and potentially the game’s second major expansion.

As spotted by bogorad222 and shared by various other sources, ‘Starborn’ has been trademarked by the Microsoft-owned company; relating to “downloadable computer game software via a global network”. That sounds a lot like DLC to us.

The above Twitter account has also provided a little more context behind the name Starborn. As covered by the game’s wiki, the name relates to Starfield “humans who have passed through The Unity, which allows them to travel between universes” in the team’s sci-fi title.

Now, all of this isn’t confirmation of any particular plan or type of DLC pack, in fact, it might turn out to be nothing at all given that trademarks are often filed and never used by video game companies. We do know that Shattered Space is coming this year though, and with Bethesda’s Todd Howard confirming that more expansions are planned beyond that, Starborn could easily turn out to be the game’s following DLC pack.
