Bethesda's Oblivion Unreal Engine 5 remake could be releasing sooner than you think

VGC: "Now, according to noted insider NatetheHate, the Oblivion remake is set for reveal in the coming weeks – a claim VGC has corroborated with our own sources. Nate claims the game will likely release before June, while sources have told VGC it could arrive as soon as next month."

"The Oblivion remake is reportedly “fully remade” with Unreal Engine 5, with six reworked gameplay systems: stamina, sneaking, blocking, archery, hit reaction and HUD.

Improvements to the game’s blocking system have reportedly been inspired by Souls-like games, while sneak icons are now highlighted in the new system, according to MP1ST."

Sounds great!

Just bring it!

[lukasmain]

It really does sound great. I barely remember anything about that game. Such a great idea to remake it. Hope it does big numbers for MS and maybe they might think about getting Virtuos to do another remake of another classic maybe

[Grilla]

All the women were ugly. That’s what I remember. They need to fix that.

[isarai]

I really hope these " updates" don't take things out, there better still be acrobatics and hand to hand

[OtterX]

The big question is, can I still level up my stamina by swimming laps in moats & ponds? 🤔

[denawayne]

Or sneak against a wall by putting rubber band on the thumbstick making you move forward indefinitely. And then go to bed and wake up maxed out

You're not supposed to tell anyone about this secret technique.

[jznrpg]

Who did that? Not me! /hides

The need to not just remake the graphics but also fix a lot of things and make some major gameplay changes that players no longer can tolerate like the bad map system or the inventory clutter

I really hope after this we get fallout 3 and new Vegas remastered/remade some parts into one package with all the dlc

TBH the MS acquisition seems to be working for us gamers. They are letting the studios work with quite a lot of creative freedom. I think 2025 will be the first year where we will see MS flex it's software muscles to be the #1 publisher in gaming with both revenue and profits

This sounds great actually. I wonder if TES6 will be in Unreal Engine 5 though.

[babadivad]

It was confirmed years ago it would be using Creation.

[ocelot07]

Could of changed direction. It has been about 6 years since it was announced.

[Extermin8or3_]

It won't my understanding of how this will work is that the physics and stuff like how you interact with items will be handled by creation engine still but the graphics rendering will be unreal engine. So ES6 will just have new version of creation with updated graphics rendering capabilities. It makes sense. Doing it this was with UE only really makes sense for a remake as they can still use the core physics engine from the OG game and that will help solve loads of dev time.

[Nooderus]

But does that make sense?

[isarai]

I'm expecting a ton of stutter with it going through the unreal engine

[jznrpg]

I really wish they remade Morrowind instead.

[HyperMoused]

Probably the only game im waiting on atm

[D2niceforu]

Real remakes.

I absolutely loved this game. I remember having a difficult time getting into Morrowind, so I was hesitant to purchase Oblivion with my limited funds. But boy was I in for a treat once I took the plunge. After escaping the Imperial prison, the world completely opened up. I found the writing to be much better than Skyrim's (Skyrim was still good, just not as imo). The quest lines were all much better than Skyrim, and the class/ability variety was better as well. Skyrim had it beat on the technical front, but I have so many fond memories of Oblivion. The "Whodunit?" quest is absolutely brilliant (and the entire Dark Brotherhood questline for that matter), and I hope that anyone who hasn't had a chance to play this game checks it out. I'm sure they'll patch out a ton of fun glitches which will be sad, but as long as they get some pesky bugs too, then maybe it'll all balance out.

Morrowind was the best but if you need quest arrows it wasn’t for you. Oblivion was better than Skyrim though
