Exciting news has surfaced regarding an unannounced remake of *The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion*, courtesy of MP1st. This information stems from the portfolio of an unnamed developer at Virtuos Studio, rather than traditional insider leaks. The project is being meticulously crafted using Unreal Engine 5, promising a comprehensive overhaul of the beloved classic.
The remake aims to fully reimagine *Oblivion*, with significant updates to core mechanics such as stamina, stealth, attack blocking, archery, damage reactions, and the user interface. Notably, the revamped blocking mechanics are inspired by Soulslike games, addressing the original's lackluster system. The damage calculation system is being reworked to include visible reactions to hits, and stamina management will be more user-friendly. Both the UI and archery mechanics are set to be upgraded, keeping pace with current gaming trends.
MP1st speculates that what initially started as a simple remaster, hinted at by leaked Microsoft documents, has now evolved into a full-fledged remake. While reaching out to their sources, the publication learned that the *Oblivion* remake won't be featured at the upcoming Developer_Direct. However, there's buzz that we might not have to wait long, with rumors pointing towards a potential release this year.
