YouTube’s ‘Leo Torres’ has shared an incredible video showing a realistic remake of High Hrothgar from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim in Unreal Engine 5.4. This video will give you an idea of what a modern take on Skyrim could look like on a new engine. So, let’s take a look at it.

The artist has used a mix of third-party models and custom assets. Moreover, he used Nanite for all models and foliage, as well as Lumen for global illumination and reflections. Plus, this fan remake has sixteen times the detail of the original area.

The end result is quite amazing. But let’s be realistic here. We won’t get an Elder Scrolls game that will look this good anytime soon. Even the rumored Oblivion Remake in UE5 won’t be able to match what we see here.

Anyway, this is a cool video that deserves the spotlight. At least in my opinion. I’m also sure that all TES fans will appreciate it. So, if you are one of them, you should watch it.

I also recommend watching the other Skyrim UE5 videos the artist has shared. Thus far, Torres has recreated Markarth, Blackreach, Whiterun, Solitude, Winterhold, Falkreath, Riften, Windhelm, Morthal and Dawnstar. So, in a way, you get to see what a full proper remake of Skyrim could look like.

Speaking of Unreal Engine 5, you should also check out the following fan projects. For instance, you can find some faithful remasters of Dark Souls and Dark Souls 3, which are super cool. A few months ago, we also shared an amazing remake of Toy Story 2. Then there’s this cool fan remake of Metal Gear Solid. Let’s also not forget this fantastic fan remake of STALKER that’s worth a look. Oh, and don’t miss the Grand Theft Auto 6 fan concept in UE5; it’s pretty impressive. In February 2024, we also shared fan remakes of Grand Theft Auto San Andreas and GTA 3, as well as an Uncharted fan game. We also have a fan remaster of Unreal Gold in UE5. You should also watch the full-on remake video for Final Fantasy 9, and this HD-2D Fan Remake for Xenogears.

Need for Speed Carbon and Tony Hawk’s Underground have also received some cool remakes. Oh, and there is a fan remake of Tomb Raider The Last Revelation, featuring Angelina Jolie and Christoph Walz. And if that’s not enough, there are fan remakes for Star Wars: Republic Commando, Death Stranding, Fallout 4, Grand Theft Auto 4, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Fallout 4, Resident Evil 1, and Silent Hill 3’s Lakeside Amusement Park. Finally, there is this Studio Ghibli-like teaser for Zelda: Ocarina of Time in Unreal Engine 5.

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
