YouTuber L.Torres has shared a video showing the city of Anvil from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5.6. This new version is a realistic take on it, and stays true to the game’s style. It also has sixteen times more detail than the original. If you’re a fan of Oblivion, this is definitely a video you’ll want to see.

The artist made this scene in Unreal Engine 5.6 using an RTX 3090 graphics card. 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.

What’s funny here is that one artist was able to create a city that looks better than what Bethesda 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 it 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.

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, Riverwood, Helgen, Sovngarde, and Dawnstar. So, in a way, you get to see what a fully-fledged remake of Skyrim could look like. Pretty neat.

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 Medal of Honor: Allied Assault. 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 remaster of Unreal Gold and a cool fan remake of Doom 3. You should also watch the full-on remake video for Final Fantasy 9, and this HD-2D Fan Remake for Xenogears. Moreover, here is a fantastic fan remake of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask.

Need for Speed Carbon and Tony Hawk’s Underground also have some awesome fan remakes. There’s even a fan remake of Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation that features Angelina Jolie and Christoph Waltz. But that’s not all. Fans have also made 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. And if you love Zelda, there’s a really cool Studio Ghibli-style teaser for Ocarina of Time made in Unreal Engine 5. Oh, and there’s a video showing MGS2’s iconic intro in UE5.

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
