Exciting news has surfaced from MP1st about an unannounced remake of *The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion*. What makes these revelations particularly intriguing is that they stem from the portfolio of an unnamed developer at Virtuos Studio, rather than from typical insider sources. This project, developed on the cutting-edge Unreal Engine 5, promises a comprehensive reimagining of the beloved classic.
According to the portfolio of a former Virtuos employee, *Oblivion* is set to undergo significant transformations. Key game mechanics such as stamina, stealth, attack blocking, archery, damage reactions, and the user interface are slated for complete overhauls. For instance, the revamped blocking mechanics are inspired by Soulslike games, addressing the original's perceived shortcomings. The damage calculation system has been reworked to include visible reactions to hits, while stamina mechanics are expected to be more intuitive and user-friendly. Both the UI and archery systems will be modernized, aligning with current gaming trends.
MP1st speculates that what began as a mere remaster—hinted at by leaked Microsoft documents—has evolved into a full-fledged remake. The publication's sources have confirmed that fans won't see the *Oblivion* remake at the upcoming Developer_Direct. However, there's buzz about a potential release later this year, keeping the excitement high among the gaming community.
