Exciting news has emerged from the MP1st website, revealing details about the unannounced remake of *The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion*. This information, sourced from the portfolio of an unnamed developer at Virtuos Studio, showcases the ambitious scope of this project. Developed on the powerful Unreal Engine 5, the remake promises a comprehensive reimagining of the classic game.
According to the portfolio of a former Virtuos employee, *Oblivion* is set to undergo significant overhauls. Key mechanics such as stamina, stealth, attack blocking, archery, damage reactions, and the user interface are all slated for major updates. For instance, the revamped blocking mechanics will take inspiration from Soulslike games, aiming to address the original's lackluster system. The damage calculation system will also see changes, with visible reactions to hits adding a new layer of realism. Stamina mechanics are expected to become more user-friendly, 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. Despite the excitement, sources confirmed to MP1st that the *Oblivion* remake will not be featured at the upcoming Developer_Direct. However, fans may not have to wait long, as there are rumors suggesting a potential release this year.
