The legacy of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion cannot be understated, as it is an important game that was not only a transitionary title for the Elder Scrolls series but for the landscape of gaming as a whole.
Virtuos is currently working on a multiplatform Unreal Engine 5 remake, which is rumored to be The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
I thought they’d go for Morrowind first to be honest but this is a welcoming surprise to tide us over before ES6
Unreal Engine isn't efficient for open world games, so I question the reliability of this story.
Yeah, 1st thing that came to my mind too, although i CAN see it being likely for ease if use, but it's not going to run very well if so
I'd wonder if it would just be exploiting Unreal for graphics but the underlying engine/logic is still the original framework.
Like how we had the graphical remakes of Halo Anniversary, Tomb Raider I-III, and Demon's Souls.
Could also end up a disaster like the GTA Trilogy
"remake will run both an Unreal Engine 5 project and the old Oblivion project. For instance, new graphics are rendered in the Unreal Engine 5 project, but most of the gameplay and physics are still done on the original Oblivion engine"
So with this logic it'll run just fine using UE5 tool sets on top of Gamebryo's engine or maybe even Creation Engine, who knows.
Hopefully modders can fix the aged combart in this game if this is true. Enemies leveling up with you broke and defeated the whole purpose of leveling up.
Yeah it could use some tuning for sure hence the need for a Remake not a Remaster. I'm surprised it's even a conversation within them group which makes me skeptical it's Oblivion. I wouldn't say they shouldn't level up at all though maybe just a leave them a couple levels behind to appease the masses.
Created by Bethesda Softworks, The Elder Scrolls is hailed as one of the most groundbreaking RPG franchises.

my favorite of the series. still play it sometimes.
I was hyped for Oblivion but was disappointed that they took away skills and such instead of adding on to them . I liked it in the end but was overall disappointed. They took away Acrobatics and Levitate and a bunch of other stuff . Then Skyrim added the shit sprint button . I wish they would have built upon the Morrowind formula instead of tearing it down as they go but they were chasing casuals and were not trying to make the best rpg they could . They went the easy route and it shows in their gameplay . They could have evolved Morrowind formula into one of the best RPGs ever with deep mechanics and skill trees and quests . It’s just a dumbed down game with Skyrim and I expect more of the same with ES6 since they made so much money from it . They need to make their games harder for one , Oblivion was too easy and their difficulty slider sucks , they need to add onto stats and skills a lot at this point . Morrowind wasn’t a perfect game but they had something with it and they totally failed in making a better RPG after it
