Bethesda didn’t just light a candle for Starfield’s second birthday; they lit a fuse. A short teaser shared on social media has fans in detective mode again, thanks to a glitchy interruption that revealed a secret phrase: Terran Armada.
Starfield anniversary teaser reveals secret clue
The video starts like any nostalgic nod would: space music, clean visuals, that familiar blue-and-black tone. But 6 seconds in, it all breaks. The screen distorts, the palette flips to yellow and brown, and black text flickers on-screen. It’s quick, but not quick enough to stop the internet from catching it.
Thanks to a group of sharp-eyed fans, the hidden phrase was identified: “Terran Armada.”
Splatoon 3 update 10.1.0 is now live on Switch and Switch 2, bringing weapon tweaks, special adjustments, and balance changes.
What is Terran Armada? Fans think it’s Starfield DLC
Naturally, speculation exploded. Many believe Terran Armada points to the next major Starfield DLC or expansion. Reddit threads lit up instantly with theories and wishlist drops.
Some players focused on the word “Terran,” pointing out that it refers directly to Earth. That alone kicked off theories that the long-lost home planet could play a much bigger role going forward, possibly involving Starborn factions or some kind of hidden colony.
Fans react with excitement and wild theories
The teaser has revived the community’s favorite pastime: guessing what Bethesda is really up to. Here’s what’s bubbling up in the fanbase:
- “Terran” implies Earth may finally be more than a dusty backdrop
- Some suspect it ties into rumored Starborn content
- Others just miss the thrill of theorycrafting again
One fan summed up the mood perfectly: “I’m just happy to have something to speculate on again. That’s the best part of waiting for a game drop.”
Cruise mode still coming, Bethesda says
Earlier rumors about “cruise mode” also got new traction. A previous datamine revealed signs of an overhauled travel system, which Bethesda initially patched out. But they’ve now confirmed: cruise mode is real, and it’s coming.
Starfield might be looking homeward next
Earth was once just a blip in Starfield’s sprawling galaxy. If Terran Armada means what fans think it does, that blip could turn into a battleground. And that changes everything.
