Though The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is the most successful game in the franchise, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remains a special title for most fans. While the game has its set of fans, what one can’t deny is the fact that it has failed to evolve with the times. However, Virtuos Games seems to know that and is working towards making the game relevant and exciting for those who haven’t tried it yet.
Virtuos Games, according to a post that has now been deleted, is working on as many as five different projects at the moment. The most important project out of these is the ‘Altar’ which is supposed to be a “remaster/remake of Oblivion”.
The source has stated that there is no clarity on the game being a full-fledged remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. However, the development team seems to be using a pairing system that seems to encompass “an Unreal Engine 5 project, and the old Oblivion one”. The user, whose account has been deleted by now, claimed that Virtuos Games has taken complete charge of the project and the art and design aspect is being looked into by Black Shamrock.
