The upcoming Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remake, reportedly developed by Virtuos and powered by Unreal Engine 5, is set to feature significant graphical and gameplay overhauls, making it a full-fledged reimagining rather than a simple remaster.

    As long as max acrobat skill still lets me leap over buildings, I’m open to gameplay changes.

    I’m excited. Oblivion was incredible because it was a fantasy world that I wanted to be in. Skyrim was so cold and damp, whereas Oblivion was more varied and felt like the home I’ve never had.

      Oblivion had some really nice areas but also some damp swampy areas I had no desire to be in! I actually prefer the cold dry snowy areas over damp areas!

    I’m more interested in how it runs through Unreal. Would be interesting to see if this was a test bed for future change at Bethesda themselves, even if it is an external studio,

    Bethesda finally upgrades from its Creation Engine.

    “Well, that only took 20 f*cking years!”

    The idea of remaking Oblivion is crazy.

    Isn’t what everyone loves about this game the weird dialogue and presentation style? Hard to imagine how they remake this game and make everyone happy with the final result.
