Rumored Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remake Could Feature Major Gameplay Overhauls
Reports suggest the unannounced remake is being developed in Unreal Engine 5 with reworked mechanics inspired by modern action RPGs.
- Multiple sources claim Virtuos is developing the remake, with updates reportedly leaked via a former employee's portfolio site.
- The rumored remake is said to include six overhauled gameplay systems: stamina, sneaking, blocking, archery, hit reaction, and HUD design.
- Blocking mechanics are reportedly inspired by Soulslike games, aiming to make combat more engaging and skill-based.
