A purported remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, developed by Virtuos Studio using Unreal Engine 5, has been detailed by MP1st. The information, reportedly sourced from an anonymous developer's portfolio, suggests a significant departure from a simple remaster.
This purported remake will feature a complete reimagining of Oblivion, encompassing overhauls to core mechanics. These changes include revamped stamina, stealth, attack blocking (inspired by Soulslike games to address the original's perceived shortcomings), archery, damage reactions, and the user interface. The damage calculation system will be reworked to incorporate visible reactions to attacks, while stamina management is expected to be more intuitive. The UI and archery mechanics will also receive modernizations.
MP1st speculates that the project, initially planned as a remaster (as hinted at in leaked Microsoft documents), evolved into a full remake. While sources confirm the Oblivion remake won't appear at the upcoming Developer_Direct, rumors suggest a potential release within the year.
