    Good thing they announced it so early. Wouldn’t want to be caught off guard over a decade later with a launch announcement.

      Not to mention announcements this far out can still be cancelled.

      Especially if starfield goes to shit because they under deliver or provide a broken game.

        I’m not “impatient”. I just think it’s dumb to have announced it so early. No one needs to know about development of such a far off project. It’s pointless.

        I feel that it’s pretty absurd that anyone would think otherwise.

        Nah, Bethesda is just going to quietly shelve one of their two flagship IPs after milking the last entry of it for a decade.

    I’m just concerned about Grandma Shirley being able to play this. It won’t be the same without her commentary :(

    Not all that surprising honestly. Starfield is going to be Bethesda’s focus and main talking point for a few years at least. And who knows how many games are scheduled between it and ES6, whenever it comes out. Given that Bethesda generally likes a short window between reveal and release I’m wondering just how much they regret teasing a game that might not release for another three or four years.
