Starfield: Tom Cruise in the infamous Bethesda space RPG?

Decidedly, Starfield is right now the center of attention … while it has not even been really revealed. Yesterday, famous journalist Jeff Grubb (and not just him) claimed that Bethesda’s infamous RPG won’t land until 2022 ; as recently as today, the same guy declared that the title would not arrive on PlayStation but only on Xbox platforms. And as they say, never two without three: here is a new rumor which advances the integration of Tom Cruise within the adventure.

This information, to take obviously with tweezers, comes to us from three self-proclaimed insiders on the sub-Reddit “Gaming Leaks & Rumors”, proclaiming that the Hollywood star would indeed be in the game without giving more information. As additional support, the three Internet users point the finger a tweet from Bethesda from 2018 in which the publisher … asks Tom Cruise if he would be interested in joining a future game. Definitely.

Hey @TomCruise, we’re huge fans. Loved your take on Oblivion and now Fallout. Want to get a head start on our next thing? #Call me.

And above all, in the case of Starfield, remember that Tom Cruise is talking about him a lot because he will be one of the first two actors to shoot a film in space, very soon. For real, we hear. Suffice to say that this would therefore be suitable for the ambitious space-opera that is Starfield …
