  • Developer: Bethesda and Virtuos
  • Engine: Unreal Engine 5
  • Features: Significant visual enhancements, revamped gameplay mechanics (including stamina, sneaking, blocking, archery, hit reactions, and a redesigned HUD)

This remake is moving at a rapid pace, with insider reports suggesting that Bethesda is preparing an imminent reveal.

    At least it’s not Skyrim again, but god damn it, Morrowind is what we really need a remaster of.

    I tried to play it recently and it’s just one of those games that was great at the time but has aged extremely poorly. It’s not even about the graphics, more how ‘clunky’ everything is.

    UE5 is interesting. Obviously a big change with a lot of benefits, but modding will certainly be more difficult. Bethesda will actually have to put serious effort into this – pushing a game out and letting the community fix it only works if your game is extremely easy to modify.

    I also feel somewhat bad for the people who’ve worked tirelessly on the Skyblivion project.

      If it’s any consolation, the Skywind project is much further along than you would expect

      I’m conflicted because I’m one of those people that LOVES Morrowind. On one hand a remaster could be amazing and bring the game back into the light for new people to experience. On the other hand Bethesda is an embarrassment at this point and I don’t trust them to do Morrowind justice anymore…
