Starfield, Bethesda's upcoming open-world game, is generating significant excitement as one of the most anticipated releases of 2023. The game marks a departure from Bethesda's well-known franchises like The Elder Scrolls and Fallout, as it introduces a new intellectual property (IP). Set to launch on September 6, Starfield has received a boost from Imagine Dragons with their newly released song "Children of the Sky."

Imagine Dragons' affinity for video games dates back to their song "Warriors," created for the League of Legends World Championship in 2014. Since then, the band has contributed music to various gaming projects, such as League of Legends' show Arcane, Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, and the WWE 2K series.

In a recent Twitter post, Imagine Dragons announced the release of "Children of the Sky," a song tailored specifically for Starfield in collaboration with Bethesda Studios. The song is now available across platforms like Spotify, Tidal, Apple Music, and YouTube.

Imagine Dragons' decision to partner with Bethesda was driven by their genuine fanhood. The band expressed on Twitter that they have been playing Bethesda Studio games for a significant portion of their lives. Collaborating on the Starfield song was an honor for the band, and their popularity enabled them to work alongside the game developers they admire.

While it's unclear if the new song will feature in the Starfield game itself, it's currently being used for promotional purposes. Bethesda released a music video trailer for Starfield featuring "Children of the Sky." Given the song's content, its inclusion in the game would be fitting and enhance the overall experience.

Fans of Imagine Dragons and Bethesda Studios can now listen to "Children of the Sky" across various music platforms. It's a fantastic way to heighten the anticipation and set the tone for the upcoming release of Starfield, a game eagerly awaited by gamers and Imagine Dragons alike.
