Basically confirms the rumors that Starfield saw a reboot when they switched it from Creation Engine 1 to the Creation Engine 2 that they had designed for TES 6, I believe the rumor is that that reboot happened in 2018. There is no possible way that the game began development in 2015 like Todd Howard originally claimed, but yet was still in an earlier state of development than Redfall, which began development in 2018, 3 years later, by the time Xbox acquired Zenimax in 2021. Redfall would have only been in development for 2.5 years when the acquisition closed, compared to Starfield supposedly having been in development for 5.3 years at that point. Definitely seems like it did indeed get rebooted when the engine switch happened. Jason Schreier previously alluded to the reboot as well, suggested that the current build of Starfield didn't begin development until after Fallout 76 released in late 2018.
