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.

And how do you think a combination of both engines would look like? This smells like a disaster with the worst of both worlds.

Do you have experience with the Unreal engine?

You know that an engine is just an engine, and it can be modified.

For example, these thousands of games were made in Unreal.

Unreal is great, that's the point. Why should it have to work along with the bs that is the creation engine? I honestly don't see any value in keeping it alive.

Probably the scripting engine being something the devs are really familiar with.
