Starfield composer Inon Zur in an interview with RPG Site stated the space RPG will become "legendary" and Todd Howard will stay the course on the game.
"Todd is one, if not the most creative and invigorating human beings in the industry," said Zur. "He just doesn't stop. He always has new ideas. He always knows what he wants. He is very persuasive and has a very strong character. He will also find ways to describe what he wants without really calling it a name. He knows how to allow freedom of creativity on one hand, but also how to steer it to his own vision. He is a visionary. He sees things that people will start to find out years later.
"This also applies to Starfield. When Starfield released, I believe people were just not ready for it. It's a different way of looking at it, but Todd is really strong, and he said very, very lightly, 'Look, if you don't like it, then you don't like it, but this is the new thing that we're doing, and we're sticking to it.' He believes in his way, and it just has proven time and time again that eventually people will understand his vision.
"It just takes time and this is a common thing for all the big visionaries. Sometimes people really don't understand them correctly, but they were strong enough to stay on course, and Todd will stay on course on Starfield. Starfield will eventually become something that will be legendary. I have no doubt. It's just a matter of time."
Starfield first released for the Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam and Microsoft Store, and Xbox Game Pass in September 2023.
The game is also rumored to release for the PlayStation 5 on April 7.

This is like the most forgettable AAA game released in the last few years.
I'm guessing that many people are wishing that they just bought No Man's Sky or Space Engineers instead
The game had its special moments. Just felt like an unfinished product at launch
Cringe. I mean, actual creators of legendary games don´t go around trying to convince people it´s legendary.
Nothing wrong with being proud of his work, and I don´t need to disparage it as a total failure or anything.
But this need for excess glorification is just damning, forcing worse conclusions than if they just shut up.
Honestly I feel like most people have forgotten about it by now, so I think it missed its shot at legendary status. That doesn't make it bad, but just nowhere near as generation-defining as they wanted it to be.
Todd is a stubborn fool. He still wants to use the most broken engine in the gaming industry that produces ugly visuals and so many many bugs with every game they make. Starfield would have been so much better if it was done with a different engine and the size of the game reduced by minimum half.. there's was too many unnecessary fluff in the game. This after my 200 hour playthrough .
How about no? No it wont.
It's clearly lacking something that both skyrim and fallout 4 had. For all of fallout 4's obvious faults the players stuck around anyway and it became a compelling modding base. Starfield's players diddn't stay and the modding scene just isn't there.
No.
Nah, this ain't No Man's Sky. lol
First thought- they’re announcing a legendary edition ?
After reading- what a strange series of comments sucking up to Todd Howard from this man.
Maybe with mods, but otherwise simply no, and I have a hunch that modders don't care about it enough, at least to do their thing on any reasonable timescale. I also don't see Bethesda investing enough in the game, because it would probably require something transformative for gameplay or a humongous amount of unique content to fill all those empty planets. This isn't a matter of getting it, this is a matter of the game having very obvious flaws, and it's not going to fix itself.
I honestly have no doubt that will be the case...
However, its a shame that it didn't launch in a manner that really hooked people the way Skyrim or Fallout 3/NV/4 did
