The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall Remake in Unity Engine Released


Gavin “Interkarma” Clayton just dropped Version 1.0 of the unofficial remake of The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall in Unity Engine, called Daggerfall Unity. This is a dream come true for all old-school TES fans. And yes, we highly recommend playing it.

Daggerfall Unity is a cool remake of the old-school The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall. Modder ‘Interkarma’ has re-imagined it in the Unity Engine to give today’s gamers a taste of this classic RPG. It’s a really cool project. Oh, and it’s free to download.

Daggerfall Unity requires a free copy of DOS Daggerfall to run. This will provide all necessary game assets such as textures, 3D models, and sound effects. And as you may have guessed, yes. Steam has the DOS version available for download. You can also download the game from GOG.

The modder claimed that this newest Daggerfall Unity version has all its planned features. Now, Interkarma will shift gears to focus on community support and keeping things running smoothly. Plus, the game’s development will now steer towards future mod support.

Just a heads up, though. This fan remake of Daggerfall will not make it look like Oblivion or Skyrim. While it has a better lighting system and supports higher-res textures, it still sticks with 2D sprites for characters. Some might be bummed about that, but upscaling the original sprites keeps the cool art style intact. So, don’t expect it to look like the newer Elder Scrolls games. Nevertheless, it’s a neat upgrade.

And… well… there is nothing more to add. If you are a fan of the Elder Scrolls series, you really need to get this fan remake.

You can download Daggerfall Unity from this link. I’ve also included below some comparison screenshots. The original DOS version is on the left, and the remake is on the right. These screenshots will give you an idea of what you can expect from it.

Have fun!
