Now, the Skyrim Grandma herself confirmed that, despite her participation in the upcomingElder Scrolls 6, she will not be present in any capacity inStarfield. In a Reddit post, it’s possible to see a screenshot in which she confirms that she will probably not even playStarfieldat all. Previously in her own channel, she said that the space setting ofStarfieldwas not as appealing to her as the fantasy setting of theElder Scrollsworld, and she’ll keep waiting for the nextTESinstead. Some time ago, Shirley even told Todd Howard tohurry up withTES 6, as she wanted the chance to see the game before she passed away, as she’s already 87 right now.
The discussion on whether Skyrim Grandma would appear onStarfieldstarted after some fans spotted a character named “Grandma” in one scene during Starfield Directin the Xbox Games Showcase, and believed that it could be her. In light of her remarks, however, this should not be taken as an official cameo, and more like a possible Easter Egg.
Despite Shirley’s lack of enthusiasm for Bethesda’s upcoming sci-fi RPG, the game is selling fairly well ahead of its launch.Starfieldis already near the top of Steam’s sales chartdespite being several months away from launch. The game was able to outsell evenStreet Fighter 6, which was only recently released. Most of this hype is due to Bethesda not releasing any single-player RPG since 2015’sFallout 4. When coupled with promises ofStarfieldbeing bigger than any other title made by the company before, fans are eager to see what Bethesda is ready to offer.
Starfieldreleases September 6 for PC and Xbox Series X/S.
