Greg Coulthard has released a new version of his fan remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion in Unreal Engine 5. This new version seems to have some new high-quality textures (around 3000). As such, the project should now look better than before.

For those unaware, this project brings the entire map of Oblivion in Unreal Engine 5. So, this is what we’d get from a remaster of this classic TES game on a modern engine.

As I’ve already said, this Oblivion Fan Remake can mostly be described as a remaster on a new engine. The reason I say this is because it uses all the original assets. Yes, it does take advantage of some of UE5’s capabilities. However, the project would have looked even better with higher quality textures.

And that’s where Digital Dreams come in. Right now, he’s using AI tools to upscale the original textures. And, as you will see in the video, some areas do look impressive. To be more precise, the cities during rain can look gorgeous.

Do note that this fan project simply lets you explore the world of Oblivion in UE5. It does not have any enemies to fight. It also does not have any proper gameplay mechanics. So, consider this a fan tech demo and nothing more. This isn’t a fully-fledged playable remake of Oblivion.

To capture the following gameplay video, Digital Dreams used an NVIDIA RTX 5090. At 4K, NVIDIA’s GPU was able to run the project with over 60FPS at all times. The average framerate, from what I could see, was around 100FPS. The minimum I saw was 79FPS.

You can go ahead and download this latest version from Coulthard’s Discord server. At the end of the article, you can also find a new playthrough video from it. So, be sure to check it out.

Speaking of Unreal Engine 5, we recommend trying out these other free fan-made demos. You can grab a Superman UE5 Demo, a Halo 3: ODST Remake, and a Spider-Man UE5 Demo. There’s also a fan-made version of STALKER in Unreal Engine 5. If you love old-school FPS games, you should check out this remake of the classic FPS Blood in Epic’s engine. Don’t also forget the remake of Halo: Combat Evolved’s Halo level in UE5 or this free Attack on Titan game. And then we have the Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake in UE5. Plus, there is an amazing fan remake of Sonic Adventure 2, called Sonic Adventure 2 Redux.

Owners of high-end GPUs can also try these two tech demos. The first one features a Witcher-like environment. The second shows off a Rome Italian Town. Last month, we also shared a demo of King’s Field 2 in UE5. Finally, we have The Lord of the Rings: Conquest Reimagined in Unreal Engine 5, a remake of Flappy Bird, a demo for Need for Speed: Underground 2, and a Diablo 2 Remake Demo. They all look awesome, so be sure to give them a try.

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
