YouTuber L. Torres has released a video showing the city of Skingrad from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5.6.1. The new version of the city has sixteen times more detail than the original game. So, if you are an Oblivion fan, you should definitely check it out.

This project is part of an effort to create a more realistic and lore-accurate version of Tamriel. According to Torres, Skingrad has one of the most unique city layouts in Cyrodiil, with the main Gold Road running right through the canyon at its center.

The artist made this scene in Unreal Engine 5.6.1 using an RTX 3090 GPU. Torres mixed third-party models with custom assets he created in Blender. He used Nanite for all the models and plants, and Lumen for the lighting and reflections. To also get a crisp image, Torres used DLAA.

As I’ve said before, the artist was able to create a city that looks better than what Bethesda and Virtuos made for the official Oblivion remake. This shows just how powerful Unreal Engine 5 really is. It also proves that talented artists can make amazing maps without needing a big studio to back them up. This is why more and more devs have opted to use UE5 for their games.

This project was made for portfolio purposes. In other words, you cannot download it to run it on your PC. So, no. You can’t experience this on your own. I know, I know. That’s a bummer. Still, this is a cool video that a lot of Oblivion fans will enjoy.

This isn’t the only Oblivion city/area that Torres has recreated in UE5. You can also find lore-scale accurate versions of Chorrol, Cheydinhal, Leyawiin, and Anvil.
