"Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remake to Feature Major Gameplay Overhaul"

Exciting news has surfaced from MP1st regarding an unannounced remake of the iconic game, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The details, which are particularly intriguing, stem from the portfolio of an unnamed developer at Virtuos Studio, rather than the usual insider sources. This project is being crafted on the cutting-edge Unreal Engine 5 and promises a comprehensive overhaul of the original game.

According to the portfolio of a former Virtuos employee, this remake aims to fully reimagine Oblivion. Players can expect significant updates to core mechanics including stamina, stealth, attack blocking, archery, damage reactions, and the user interface. The revamped blocking mechanics, for instance, take inspiration from Soulslike games, aiming to address the original's somewhat lackluster blocking system. Furthermore, the damage calculation system has been completely reworked to include visible reactions to being hit, while stamina mechanics are expected to be more user-friendly. The user interface and archery systems will also see enhancements, aligning with current gaming trends.

MP1st speculates that the project initially began as a remaster, as suggested by leaked Microsoft documents, but has since evolved into a full-fledged remake. This shift indicates a significant commitment to revitalizing the beloved RPG for modern audiences.

While the publication reached out to its sources, it was confirmed that the Oblivion remake will not be featured at the upcoming Developer_Direct. However, there's buzz about a potential release this year, keeping fans eagerly on the edge of their seats for more updates.
