Released in 2006, the excellent Action-RPG The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion receives a facelift by a fan who lets us dangle what the title of Bethesda could have looked like under the Unreal Engine 5.
An anthology title, only supplanted in its genre by its monumental successor Skyrim, and which already had a very beautiful plastic for the time.
Oblivion revisited thanks to the Unreal Engine 5
While The Elder Scrolls Online: Blackwood currently offers content centered on the Kingdom of the Daedras and a mod entitled Skyblivion intends to integrate the fourth opus of the saga on Skyrim, Hall 00117 has for its part reproduced a passage from the venerable game under Unreal Engine 5.
At the request of one of his fans, this one more exactly reproduced the Gate of Kvatch, our first contact with the Gates to Oblivion in the game, on the new version of the Epic Games engine. Available in early access since last May, it allows talented artists to offer simply sumptuous creations, as evidenced by the video above.
The final rendering of this two-minute video took Hall 00117 several weeks of experimentation, in order to deliver the most visually impressive scene possible, while maintaining a frame rate between 50 and 65 fps. Features specific to Unreal Engine 5 such as nanites for visual effects have been coupled with 8K textures for a result that literally illuminates the retinas.
We almost come to hope that The Elder Scrolls VI, whose production has only just begun, will be as beautiful. Same hope for Starfield, expected on November 11 on PC, Xbox Series X | S and Game Pass and which will notably offer more than 150 lines of dialogue.
