Wait, it's already out? I heard a bunch of rumors about it just the other day and I went on Steam to look it up, and I could swear it was still targeting a release in 2026.
They must have been working overtime on this to beat Skyblivion to the finish line.
They dropped the trailer and the game at the same time. Its a pretty well done remaster/remake so far. Minor visual bugs but thats kinda to be expected at this point. Nothing totally gamebreaking though. Runs well enough on Xbox and considerably better on a PC. Xbox performance mode gives it a high framerate, though I am unsure if it is 60 or 120 fps, I would assume probably just 60.
According to some YouTube videos I watched, a bunch of screenshots were recently leaked, confirming the existence of this whole project, which apparently has been kept under wraps the whole time.
But yeah, I can't help but think they wanted to get it out there before Skyblivion drops (which is likely going to be free), so they can get some of that sweet cashflow before it's too late.
Yeah, it's fairly decent. Nothing spectacular, but it hits its marks.
The only thing I'm concerned with is are they going to add in a cash shop.
I find that very likely, which will be extremely on character, as Oblivion was the first single player game to sell cosmetic DLC: horse armor.
I would be extremely surprised if they don't find a way to get more money out of it. Cosmetics for sure. Perhaps quests at some point. I feel like full expansions are kinda dead though and certainly out of scope, as isn't just the normal game in an Unreal 5 wrapping?
I play ESO, and love it, but I have been shaken down too aggressively to trust.
