According to the studio design director of Bethesda Game Studios, it is futile to approach any of the developers involved in the creation of Starfield in search of secretive details about the much-anticipated action RPG. The only individual deemed “authorized” to disclose any information regarding the unreleased game is Todd Howard.
Emil Pagliarulo, Studio Design Director at Bethesda Game Studios, recently took to Twitter to clarify that only Todd Howard, the Bethesda boss, is authorized to publicly discuss unreleased information about Starfield. Pagliarulo emphasized the role of the PR, marketing, and community teams in sharing updates, acknowledging that while fans may be disappointed, it is important to adhere to the established communication protocols within the studio.
🧵(1/2) I know this isn't what any @StarfieldGame fan wants to hear from me, but I feel like I need to make this clear: no one other than Todd Howard himself is authorized to talk publicly about unreleased game info. That's the job of of our PR/marketing/community folks.

(2/3) You have tons of questions. I get it. And my vague posting about the game doesn't help. I am SO humbled by your anticipation of Starfield. Seriously. It's mind boggling to me. So it really does pain me to say that I simply CAN'T answer 99% of your questions.

(3/3) I can't share my opinions on game content; I can't talk about performance; I can't discuss… well, most things. I signed an NDA. I'm a professional. I don't want to get fired. 😉 But your support is EVERYTHING to us. You fill my heart – every day. Best. Fans. EVER.

Starfield is one of the most eagerly-awaited video games of 2023. It’s a special game because it’s the first single-player game from Bethesda since Fallout 4 in 2015, and it’s their first completely new IP in 25 years.
