Exciting news has emerged from MP1st about an unannounced remake of the beloved classic, *The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion*. The intriguing part is that this information originates from the portfolio website of an unnamed developer, rather than the usual insider sources. The project is being crafted by Virtuos Studio, utilizing the powerful Unreal Engine 5, and it promises to bring significant enhancements to the game.
According to the portfolio of a former Virtuos employee, *Oblivion* is set to be completely reimagined. This includes a comprehensive overhaul of key mechanics such as stamina, stealth, attack blocking, archery, damage reactions, and the user interface. For instance, the revamped blocking mechanics are inspired by Soulslike games, aiming to address the original's lackluster blocking system. The damage calculation has been reworked to include visible reactions to hits, making combat more engaging. Stamina mechanics are expected to be more user-friendly, and both the UI and archery systems are being updated to align with current gaming trends.
MP1st speculates that the initial plan was to simply remaster the game, as hinted by previously leaked Microsoft documents. However, it appears the project has evolved into a full-fledged remake, promising a fresh take on the iconic RPG.
The publication has confirmed through its sources that the *Oblivion* remake will not be featured at the upcoming Developer_Direct. Nevertheless, there are whispers that we might see a release as early as this year, adding to the anticipation surrounding this exciting project.
