Back in 2006, many gamers were enthralled by the latest installment of the series withElder Scrolls 4: Oblivion.The game was so good that some fans likeJames McAvoy became so addicted toElder Scrolls 4they couldn’t put the game down untilSkyrim.
Now, gamers might be excited to see that a fan has recreated some visuals from the game usingUnreal Engine 5, inspired by theElder Scrolls Online: Gates of Obliviontrailer. The clip was shared on the Elder Scrolls Reddit by a user named Altmer, although the original video was posted by a user named Hall 00117 on YouTube back in August.

In it, they showcase the Kvatch Oblivion Gate with stunning next-gen visuals and a stunning atmospheric soundtrack taken from the original game. Hall stated that they created most of the assets in the video, with the exception of the Megascanned lava rock formations, the visual storm effects, the wheelbarrow, and the knight. In total, it took them about a couple of weeks of experimentation to complete the two-minute-longElder Scrolls 4: Oblivionvideo.
Hall stated that the goal for them was to maintain a steady 50-65fps for the video. However, there are occasional stutters throughout the video with the mix of particle effects and nanite meshes with 8k textures. Some criticism that was brought up was that some people are tired of seeing similar trailers with dim lighting and bland color palettes in favor of something more colorful. However, the color choice fits the original aesthetic of the game, and the trailer only means to pay homage. Luckily, this doesn’t take away from the overall enjoyment.
Some fans admire Hall’s work and stated thatElder Scrolls 4deserves a remake, calling for Bethesda to step its game up for the next installment. Others were reminiscing about their first experiences with the game back when they were younger. For many, they first saw these gates back when they were younger than 10. So seeing these gates in a fresh coat of paint brings back some memories.
Some are even hoping Bethesda brings these sorts of visuals intoElder Scrolls 6when it eventually comes out. Ideally, Bethesda will also giveElder Scrolls 4a similar remastering treatment toSkyrim. Fans will likely reminisce about their favoriteElder Scrolls 4moment through this trailer and keep pushing for a remake in the near future.
The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivionis available on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 and backward compatible on PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
