A purported remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, developed by Virtuos Studio using Unreal Engine 5, has been detailed by MP1st. The information, reportedly sourced from an anonymous developer's portfolio, suggests a significant departure from the original.
This isn't a simple remaster; the portfolio indicates a complete reimagining of Oblivion. Core mechanics are undergoing substantial overhauls. These include stamina management, stealth systems, attack blocking (drawing inspiration from Soulslike games to address the original's perceived shortcomings), archery, damage feedback, and the user interface. The damage calculation system has been reworked to incorporate visible hit reactions, and stamina is expected to be more intuitive. The UI and archery mechanics will also receive modernizations.
MP1st theorizes that the project, initially planned as a remaster (as hinted at by leaked Microsoft documents), has evolved into a full-scale remake.
While sources confirm the Oblivion remake won't appear at the upcoming Developer_Direct, rumors suggest a possible release within the year.
