Bethesda downplays Starfield hype ahead of next week's news

Starfield did not arrive as the kind of enduring hit some expected; critical and community response has not suggested the sort of longevity associated with Skyrim. Its composer, Inon Zur, said the game would become "legendary" and that people "were just not ready for it … this is a common thing for all the big visionaries." Bethesda replied on X, posting: "We ran this by Todd and he said his only visionary power is seeing running lanes in EA College Football 26.

He appreciates all the passionate feedback on Starfield and we’ll have more to share next week." What that update might bring is unclear. Todd has previously said it will be a lot of "updates and things that change the game, not in an isolated way, but sort of meta, using outer space and things in ways that we haven't," which leaves room for hopes like space travel that isn't a loading screen.
