As of the time of posting (19:23 GMT), Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion is on sale 75% off on Steam.
Virtuos is currently working on a multiplatform Unreal Engine 5 remake, which is rumored to be The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
I thought they’d go for Morrowind first to be honest but this is a welcoming surprise to tide us over before ES6
Unreal Engine isn't efficient for open world games, so I question the reliability of this story.
Yeah, 1st thing that came to my mind too, although i CAN see it being likely for ease if use, but it's not going to run very well if so
I'd wonder if it would just be exploiting Unreal for graphics but the underlying engine/logic is still the original framework.
Like how we had the graphical remakes of Halo Anniversary, Tomb Raider I-III, and Demon's Souls.
Could also end up a disaster like the GTA Trilogy
"remake will run both an Unreal Engine 5 project and the old Oblivion project. For instance, new graphics are rendered in the Unreal Engine 5 project, but most of the gameplay and physics are still done on the original Oblivion engine"
So with this logic it'll run just fine using UE5 tool sets on top of Gamebryo's engine or maybe even Creation Engine, who knows.
Hopefully modders can fix the aged combart in this game if this is true. Enemies leveling up with you broke and defeated the whole purpose of leveling up.
Yeah it could use some tuning for sure hence the need for a Remake not a Remaster. I'm surprised it's even a conversation within them group which makes me skeptical it's Oblivion. I wouldn't say they shouldn't level up at all though maybe just a leave them a couple levels behind to appease the masses.
Created by Bethesda Softworks, The Elder Scrolls is hailed as one of the most groundbreaking RPG franchises.

But...but Skyrim
Awesome deal, though. But if at this point you haven't played an Elder Scrolls game and can afford it, I'd go with Skyrim.
i love this game great deal. i like this more than skyrim
This deal ia good but Oblivion sucked seriously. Just buy skyrim / morrowind
Have you played Skyrim and then gone back to Oblivion? The difference in mechanics (not referring to graphics) is greater than between Morrowind and Oblivion. Though, Morrowind's spell crafting and enchanting was phenomenally more fun (albeit broken) than both Oblivion and Skyrim's.
But the last time there was a 75% off deal, I bought Oblivion Deluxe GOT Edition. Damn good game... Just Morrowind and Skyrim are better.
I cant even play morrowind for an hour at a time. the mechanics are outdated and its hard to like compared to the other two. sure the other two are more streamlined a bit but i have to use mods just to make morrowind seem not as dated.
