The team behind the ambitious Morrowind Remake mod for Skyrim, Skywind, has released a new gameplay video for it. This video shows off 15 minutes of gameplay footage, and gives us an idea of Skywind’s current status.
The “Battle at Nchurdamz” represents some of the progress the team has made in every avenue of development; from world region design, sound effects, quests, 2D concepts, 3D modelling, implementation and mechanics to weather/atmosphere, voice acting, and more.
“One of the most exciting things in this video—although it may not look like much right now—is that we finally have simplified the process for creating custom creature skeletons and animations! Our Dwemer spider was the first test using these tools, and in fact uses a different skeleton than the Skyrim Dwemer spider. This marks a major milestone in our development, as these tools have been in the works for years. This opens the door to all sorts of new creature animations, such as for the guar, betty netch, silt strider, kwama, and much more.”
Skywind is a non-commercial modification for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim that will – obviously – be available for free. This mod seeks to merge the world of Morrowind with the enhanced graphics and capabilities of Skyrim’s engine. The user interface, combat, graphics, and system requirements for the Skywind mod will be all those of Skyrim.
There is currently no ETA on when this mod will come out.
Enjoy the following gameplay video and stay tuned for more!

unfortunately the updated graphics already look terribly dated.
That’s really not the point of the remake though. They aren’t competing with new games.
I know, that’s why I said its unfortunate because improved graphical fidelity was a main driver in remaking the game.
Yeah but it was never the intention to compete with current AAA. It looks better than original Skyrim so it’s a win.
He does kinda have a point, originallly it was ment to be just engine upgrade to bring everything up to date. Though now with the voice overs and everything this mod has become so much more then just a graphical upgrade.
Yeah but it was never going to compete against current AAA in graphics. Ever.
The graphics are more than decent for what this mod is.
Nord armors in Morrowind… LMAO
Why not? You can play as a nord
meh
Kinda lost my enthusiasm by now…
Yep and it will likely take years to iron out the bugs even after the final release date.
At least there’s possibility i can play it in my lifetime. Which can’t be said the same for Star Citizen, which i’m positive it won’t be completed ever.
Ikr. I was optimistic for Squadron 42, but now those w*nkers have proven themselves greatly incompetent.
everyone looks the same in skyrim.
Too late now.
And anyway, Morrowind + mods is superior.

Unless there’s a mod that would overhaul the awful dated combat, I’d take SykWind anyday.
