Leo Torres has shared a new video, showcasing The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’s capital, Solitude, being recreated in Unreal Engine 5. This recreation features sixteen times the detail of the original Skyrim city, giving us an idea of what a remake of Bethesda’s classic RPG could look like in UE5.
Now what’s cool here is that the artist has created Solitude at a more realistic and lore-accurate scale. Compared to the original version, Solitude now feels like a real place. Furthermore, this video features both a cinematic and a walkthrough mode.
This isn’t the first time Leo Torres has attempted to create a more realistic version of Skyrim’s environments. Back in April 2023, the artist shared a video showcasing Whiterun in Unreal Engine 5.
Going into more tech details, the video was rendered out in Unreal Engine 5.3.1 on an NVIDIA GeForce 3060ti. The artist also used Nanite for all models and foliage, as well as Lumen for global illumination and reflections. As such, the level of detail is exceptional. This really feels like a next-gen remake of Skyrim, so be sure to watch it.
Speaking of Unreal Engine 5, we suggest downloading these playable fan remakes/demos. For instance, you can download a Superman UE5 Demo, a Halo 3: ODST Remake, and a Spider-Man UE 5 Demo. There is also a fan remaster of STALKER in Unreal Engine 5. Old-school FPS fans should also try this remake of the classic FPS Blood in Epic’s engine. Let’s also not forget this remake of Halo: Combat Evolved’s Halo level in UE5. And finally, we have The Lord of the Rings: Conquest Reimagined in Unreal Engine 5 and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time in UE 5.3.1. All of them look cool, so make sure to give them a go.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

Elders Scroll 6 will never look this good.
I’d be alright with it looking worse if it had the same scale/scope.
F*K yeah now were start to talking!
This is what I want and expect for it to even be called next gen!
We allways get these superslick demos when a new engine is to come out, and just look at the UE5 games thats out right now – Okey I know that it will take time for a True nextgen game from scratch to came out, but come on – games right now dont even look close to those Frikking UE4 demos we got right!
And one allways thinks – well nextgen maybe, but hey just as allways it never comes close. Just same old BS with some more lipstick, thats all :/
Okey BUT, atleast we have nVidia, for getting on with RT and now PT. But without that we would still be looking at the same old sh*t we have seen pretty much for 20 f*ckn years. It all just goes so Disguting damn slow!
