Exciting news for fans of The Elder Scrolls series: the MP1st website has unveiled details about an unannounced remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. What makes these revelations particularly intriguing is that they stem from the portfolio of an unnamed developer at Virtuos Studio, rather than from typical industry insiders. This project, developed on the cutting-edge Unreal Engine 5, promises a comprehensive reimagining of the beloved game.
According to the portfolio of a former Virtuos employee, the remake will feature significant overhauls across various mechanics. Key areas of focus include stamina management, stealth capabilities, attack blocking, archery, damage reactions, and the user interface. For instance, the revamped blocking mechanics are inspired by Soulslike games, addressing the original's perceived dullness and disappointment. The damage calculation system has also been reworked to include visible reactions when characters are hit. Stamina mechanics are set to become more user-friendly, while both the UI and archery systems are being updated to align with current gaming trends.
MP1st speculates that the project began as a simple remaster, as suggested by leaked Microsoft documents, but has since evolved into a full-fledged remake. The publication has confirmed through its sources that the Oblivion remake won't be showcased at the upcoming Developer_Direct. However, there's a buzz that we might see a release this year, so keep your eyes peeled for more updates on this much-anticipated title.
