Leo Torres has posted a video in which he recreated the city of Markarth from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim in Unreal Engine 5. The artist redesigned the area to be more realistic and in line with the game’s lore. So, go ahead and take a look at it.
This remake is part of an ongoing project to visualise a more realistic and lore-accurate scale of Tamriel’s cities. To be more precise, Markarth now has sixteen times the detail it had in Skyrim. And, as you will see, it looks stunning.
This video was rendered out in Unreal Engine 5.3.2 on an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090. Leo Torres used a mix of third-party models and custom assets modeled in Blender. Moreover, he used Nanite for all models and foliage. Plus, he used Hardware Lumen for Global Illumination and reflections.
The end result is truly impressive. This video will give you an idea of what a modern-day remake of Skyrim could have looked like in Unreal Engine 5. And, will The Elder Scrolls 6 be able to come close to these visuals?
Markarth isn’t the first area that Torres has recreated in Unreal Engine 5. The artist has also remade Whiterun, Solitude, Blackreach and Winterhold. So, be sure to also check them out as they look amazing.
