It looks like Earth will be left deserted and devoid of people in the game Starfield, as humanity moves to colonize other planets like Mars.
In-game level and mission designer Will Shane He said, through a new video in which he talks about the development of the game, that players will be able to visit the solar system, in addition to exploring planet Earth, which is no longer the same as it was in the past. We know that the events of the game Starfield take place in the future, and this means that between the present and this future, something seems to have happened to the solar system, especially planet Earth, that made people leave to settle on other planets outside our solar system.

There you will be sent on a mission from Constellation to uncover the mysteries of the artifacts. Where you will be asked a good question, which is “what happened to Earth”, but you will also go to Mars. And there is actually a settlement – one of the first settlements established by humanity after they left Earth – called “Sidonia”, and it is a whole city with its own problems and people that you must meet there.
We don't know if there are side missions on planet Earth that could reveal the true story behind the abandonment of humans and their escape to colonize other planets. But it would be interesting to have a side story for each planet or colony we visit that would reveal the truth behind what happened on that planet or colony.
Earlier this month, the head of Xbox Studios stated that Starfield will be more than just an open-world RPG. He noted that it will far surpass the studio's previous projects, such as The Elder Scrolls or the Fallout series.
The Starfield game is set to release on Xbox Series and PC next year in 2023, but I have confirmed that the RedFall game will be released before that, and that means we will have to wait longer to get the game.
