MP1st has uncovered intriguing details about a rumored The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remake, sourced from the anonymized portfolio of a former Virtuos Studios developer. This isn't insider gossip; it's allegedly straight from the developer's own work showcase. The project, reportedly built using Unreal Engine 5, promises a significant departure from the original.
This isn't just a graphical refresh; the report suggests a complete reimagining of Oblivion. Core mechanics are slated for an overhaul, including stamina management, stealth, blocking, archery, damage feedback, and the user interface. The blocking system, for instance, reportedly takes inspiration from Soulslike games, addressing criticisms of the original's lackluster implementation. Damage calculations have been reworked to incorporate more visible and impactful reactions to combat. Stamina is expected to be more intuitive, and the UI and archery systems will be modernized.
MP1st speculates that the project may have evolved from a planned remaster (as hinted at in leaked Microsoft documents) into a full-blown remake.
While sources confirmed the remake won't appear at the upcoming Developer_Direct, rumors suggest a possible release later this year.
