"Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remake to Feature Major Game Mechanics Overhaul"

Exciting news has emerged from the MP1st website, shedding light on the unannounced remake of *The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion*. What makes these details particularly fascinating is their source: the portfolio of an unnamed developer at Virtuos Studio, rather than traditional insider leaks. This project, built on Unreal Engine 5, promises a comprehensive overhaul of the classic game.

According to the portfolio of a former Virtuos employee, the remake will fully reimagine *Oblivion*. Key mechanics such as stamina, stealth, attack blocking, archery, damage reactions, and the user interface are set to receive significant updates. The revamped blocking mechanics, for instance, take inspiration from Soulslike games, addressing the original's often-criticized dullness. Additionally, the damage calculation system has been reworked to include visible reactions to being hit, while stamina management is expected to be more user-friendly. Both the UI and archery systems will be upgraded to align with current gaming trends.

MP1st speculates that the project initially aimed to be a simple remaster, as suggested by leaked Microsoft documents, but has evolved into a full-fledged remake. The publication has also confirmed through its sources that the *Oblivion* remake won't be showcased at the upcoming Developer_Direct. However, there's a buzz that we might not have to wait long, with rumors pointing towards a potential release this year.
