A remake of The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion will have big changes to game mechanics

A purported remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, developed by Virtuos Studio using Unreal Engine 5, has been detailed by MP1st. The information originates from the portfolio of an anonymous former Virtuos employee, adding an intriguing layer to the unannounced project. This isn't a simple remaster; instead, it's a complete reimagining of the game.

The remake boasts significant mechanical overhauls. Stamina, stealth, blocking, archery, damage reactions, and the user interface are all slated for substantial improvements. The blocking system, for instance, reportedly takes inspiration from Soulslike games, aiming to address criticisms of the original's underwhelming mechanics. Damage calculations have been refined, resulting in more visually impactful hit reactions. A more intuitive stamina system is also expected. The UI and archery mechanics will also receive modernizations.

MP1st suggests that while initial plans may have involved a remaster (as hinted at in leaked Microsoft documents), the project has expanded into a full-scale remake.

Sources contacted by MP1st confirmed the Oblivion remake will not be unveiled at the upcoming Developer_Direct. However, speculation points towards a potential release within the current year.
