Starfield marks two year anniversary with a secret message - Eurogamer
Bethesda Unveils Secret Message in Starfield Anniversary Post
In a surprising move, Bethesda has hidden a secret message in a social media post ostensibly marking the second anniversary of their highly anticipated game, Starfield. The cryptic message is only 12 seconds long and appears to be a red herring at first glance. However, as we delve deeper, it becomes clear that this is no ordinary anniversary message.
The Initial Post
The social media post in question was published on Bethesda's official Twitter account, marking what they claimed was the second anniversary of Starfield's announcement. The post read:
"Today marks a special milestone! It's been 2 years since we first announced #Starfield. We can't wait to share more with you soon!"
At first glance, this seems like a typical anniversary message from a game developer. However, as we'll explore below, there's something more sinister lurking beneath the surface.
The Secret Message
Fast forward to around 6 seconds into the video, and things take an interesting turn. The image starts to distort and glitch, revealing a previously hidden sequence of pixels. If you pause the video at this exact moment, you'll notice that these pixels spell out a single word: "KHAOS."
For those unfamiliar with Starfield's lore, Khajiit (not Khaos) is a major faction in the Elder Scrolls universe, to which Bethesda also belongs. However, some fans have speculated about the possibility of a new, unannounced game set within this universe.
Speculation and Theories
The appearance of the word "KHAOS" has sent shockwaves through the gaming community, with many fans speculating about its significance. Some believe that it might be a nod to a previously unknown game set in the Elder Scrolls universe, while others think it could be an Easter egg hinting at the game's storyline or mechanics.
While we can't know for certain what this message means just yet, one thing is clear: Bethesda has once again proven themselves to be masters of subtle marketing and cryptic storytelling.
Conclusion
The discovery of this secret message in Starfield's anniversary post serves as a reminder that even the most seemingly innocuous announcements from game developers can hold hidden depths. As we wait for more information about Starfield, it's clear that Bethesda is building anticipation with every detail they reveal.
In the world of gaming, surprises are always welcome, and this latest development has left fans eagerly anticipating what's to come next. Will Khajiit be a new faction in Starfield? Only time will tell.
