  • Engine: Unreal Engine 5
  • Features: Significant visual enhancements, revamped gameplay mechanics (including stamina, sneaking, blocking, archery, hit reactions, and a redesigned HUD)

This remake is moving at a rapid pace, with insider reports suggesting that Bethesda is preparing an imminent reveal.

    Getting stronger as you level up instead of getting weaker would be nice

    If this will legally kill Skyblivion I will be soooo pissed! (AM2R serving here as a precedent)

    Must moving from the Gamebtyo/Creation Engine to Unreal seems like a huge leap. Wonder how much that’ll affect modding capability or recreating popular mods from the original game.

    Kinda sad that this’ll seemingly overshadow the Skyblivion team’s efforts over the past 15 years… Unless they hired some of their team.

      I’m guessing that all mods will more or less need to be remade from scratch (apart from assets)

      I would imagine it’ll be similar to GTA The Definitive Edition where the original engine still handles the physics etc. and Unreal is used to render the new visuals and UI.
