Key Details About the Remake

  • Development Studio: Virtuos is developing the remake. Known for supporting major titles like Horizon Forbidden West and more.
  • Engine and Technology: The game will use a hybrid engine approach combining Unreal Engine 5 with Bethesda’s original Creation Engine, promising modern enhancements while preserving gameplay mechanics.
  • Platforms: Expected on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. Likely to be included in Xbox Game Pass at launch due to Microsoft’s ownership of Bethesda.

Relation to Other Projects

  • Separate from Skyblivion, a fan-project recreating Oblivion within the Skyrim engine. The lead developer of Skyblivion will continue working on this project regardless of an official remake.
  • Multiple insiders have corroborated these rumours, suggesting a significant shift in plans after initial hints during Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard.

My problem with oblivion is a lack of controller support and I hate the system of needing stamina to attack.

Once I just ran around waiting for stamina to regenerate then attacked and repeated. It was really annoying. I felt like I was playing the game wrong.
