Shivering Isles could be the first and last full expansion Bethesda releases for Oblivion. The developer has said that Shivering Isles is "the only expansion we have planned".
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.

Lets focus on the next game already! I know people probably would like to get to two or three hundred hours of content on this one but maybe a new game would be nice.
But I have to agree, start work on the next one! I'm hoping the next one will allow for more free form character development. In Morrowind I spent the first 80 hours or so just looking for better and better weapons and armor, then started the main story line with some pretty good equipment right off the back, and I enjoyed that more... instead of just having the current level set (i.e. leather, then steel, etc.).
Ya im with you sphinx.. Its nice to take down a bad guy with some pretty kick asss armor and weapons. .And then steal him and leave him naked on the floor.. LOL... The next game should be pretty good... Hopefully you can have more diseases maybe hopefully you can turn into a werewolf.. or a werevampire.. that would be freaky... Plus maybe they can get the NPC's to act more alive.. Maybe they try to steal your fame.. Maybe follow you to a quest and when your done they run back and say they did it... You know... Maybe if your bad mobs can come after you in the night .. Sorry im saying a lot of things from the "Project EGO" that was never realized but I would like to see some of those things in a game.. There pretty cool
Thats GREAT news, because it does not work after 70 hours ANYWAY. Where is the damn patch?!? Fed up with Bethesda, I bet they do not even make one...since they are "working on other games". What about us gamers who bought this POS for 30 bucks, and then have it ruin our hundreds of hours worth of gaming? WHY should we buy again? I don't think retailers need to worry about us not buying and downloading instead, if this is where we are headed...games that do not work. I want a refund.....
