Starfield’s New Atlantis May Eclipse Skyrim’s Whiterun in Size, But Not in Design

Since the release of Starfield players have no doubt marveled at the sheer size and scope of the game. With over 1000 planets across 100 star systems, Starfield presents players with much more than just “Skyrim in space” by positively dwarfing that game’s 15 square kilometer map. In the lead-up to the game’s release, Bethesda itself touted the scope of not just the game’s world, but its hand-crafted cityscapes as well, announcing that the first city players visit would be the largest one the developer had ever designed. New Atlantis is definitely big, but its layout and planning feel a step back from that of Skyrim‘s Whiterun.
