MP1st has uncovered intriguing details about a rumored The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remake, sourced from the anonymous portfolio of a former Virtuos Studios developer. This isn't insider gossip; it's allegedly straight from the developer's own work. The project, reportedly built on Unreal Engine 5, promises a significant departure from the original.
This isn't just a graphical refresh; the portfolio 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 revamped blocking system, for instance, reportedly takes inspiration from Soulslike games, addressing criticisms of the original's underwhelming combat. Damage calculations are also being reworked to include more visible and impactful hit reactions. Improvements to stamina usage and archery mechanics are also expected, aligning with modern game design trends.
MP1st speculates that the project's scope has expanded from a simple remaster (as hinted at in leaked Microsoft documents) to a full-blown remake.
While sources have confirmed the Oblivion remake won't appear at the upcoming Developer_Direct, rumors suggest a potential release within the year.
