- The team is about to pass a significant internal milestone, though Howard cautions that launch remains distant.
- Creation Engine 3 underpins the new game, with upgrades to rendering, world systems, loading, and delivering high-detail visuals immediately near the camera.
- Howard characterizes Fallout 76 and Starfield as creative detours and frames TES6 as a return to the exploration-driven design of Skyrim, Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Fallout 4.
- Starfield updates and content will be revealed soon, but Howard rules out a sweeping “Starfield 2.0” overhaul.
