I maintain to this day that they had barely started on anything relating to the actual game when the teaser was released, and it was entirely just an attempt to save face from FO76’s disastrous launch.

Yeah, I once heard that in the video game industry, you start pre-production of a title about a year before you get started with proper development (a.k.a. “production”).

So, pre-production means brainstorming the game concept, theme, maybe initial concept art, maybe some prototypes etc…

But to quote Wikipedia:

The game entered pre-production by 2018, formally being announced during Bethesda’s E3 2018 conference. The game entered active production in 2023 following Starfield’s launch.

So, presumably they kicked in pre-production for a few weeks in 2018, specifically to produce that trailer. And then put it back aside and didn’t really get started until 2022 or so. 🙃
