Report: The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remake Is Real; First Gameplay Improvement Details Revealed
A Return to Cyrodiil in Unreal Engine 5
The information comes from the website of a former Virtuos employee, whose name we won’t disclose for privacy reasons, and who worked on the game from 2023 to 2024. Before this, the individual worked on games such as Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, Call of Duty: Warzone and more.
A description of the project provided on the site confirms that the title is being developed using Unreal Engine 5 and will be “fully remade,” hinting at significant changes in this reimagining compared to the original game. Brief descriptions of six gameplay systems that will be reworked are also provided: Stamina, Sneak, Blocking, Archery, Hit Reaction, and HUD.
For the Blocking system, ideas to improve it were taken from Souls-like and “ACT” games (we’re not sure which games this refers to, but our guess is the Assassin’s Creed Ezio Trilogy), as the original system was considered too “boring” and “frustrating.” The Sneak icons are now highlighted in the improved Sneak system, and the damage calculation methods were reworked. The stamina system was modified to be less frustrating for the player, making the knockdown that occurs when stamina is depleted more difficult to activate through changes in calculation methods. The HUD was changed to make it easier to understand and more aesthetically appealing to young players. Hit reactions were also added to improve the response to damage inflicted on the player and NPCs. Finally, Archery was improved to make it more playable and modern in both third and first-person viewpoints.
