Exciting news has emerged from the MP1st website regarding an unannounced remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. This information comes from the portfolio of an unnamed developer at Virtuos Studio, adding a layer of authenticity to the rumors. The project, which is being developed using Unreal Engine 5, promises a comprehensive reimagining of the classic game.
According to the portfolio of a former Virtuos employee, the remake will feature significant updates to core gameplay mechanics. Expect overhauls in areas such as stamina, stealth, attack blocking, archery, damage reactions, and the user interface. For instance, the new blocking mechanics are inspired by Soulslike games, aiming to address the original's lackluster blocking system. The damage calculation system has also been revamped to include visible reactions when characters are hit. Stamina mechanics are expected to be more intuitive, while the UI and archery systems will be modernized to align with current gaming trends.
MP1st suggests that the project initially started as a remaster, as hinted by leaked Microsoft documents, but has since evolved into a full-fledged remake. The publication's sources have confirmed that the Oblivion remake won't be featured at the upcoming Developer_Direct. However, there are whispers that the game might see a release later this year, keeping fans on the edge of their seats with anticipation.
