Their announcement for the 30th anniversary implies that it is in early pre-alpha right now. Chances of it running on the same exact engine as Starfield are practically 100%

Wonder if it'll be ready for the 30th anniversary of Skyrim

Anyway

Chances of it running on the same exact engine as Starfield are practically 100%

You can still make improvements in pre-alpha for sure. Not massive overhauls of existing systems, but there's no reason you couldn't fix bugs, incrementally improve existing features and add new ones.

Sure, you could, but given beths track record in that regard, why would they? They have been perfectly happy shipping Skyrim to new platforms with the same bugs for nearly a decade.

I don't think the announcement implies anything. Truly. It's just them trying to get shareholders happy about hype.

Who knows, honestly. I’m not holding my breath for this game anymore. When it comes out, i’ll check it out, but if it’s in the same pitiful state as Starfield, then idk
