7 Comments

The team behind Skywind, the Morrowind Remake Mod for Skyrim, has released a brand new 20-minute gameplay video for it. So, if you are a fan of these two The Elder Scrolls games, you should definitely check it out.

Going into more details, this video shows off the Rescue Joncis Dalomax quest. The video shows off some of the spells, creatures, and locations its dev team has created thus far. Moreover, it includes text highlights of things the team is especially proud of. Some of those things are the new weathers, new jump mechanics and spell, underwater combat, new dungeon traps, and book art.

For those unaware, Skywind is a free fan-made mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It’s a project that aims to recreate the world of Morrowind with Skyrim’s graphics and features. Not only that but Skywind’s user interface, combat, graphics, and system requirements will be similar to those of Skyrim. So, if you can run Skyrim, you’ll be good to go for Skywind.

While there is still no ETA for when Skywind will come out, the team has shared a progress update. According to it, all the all base game art complete, and they are now working on nice-to-have art and extras.

All base game writing is also complete, and the team is now working on flavor texts and extras. Spellcrafting and the UI are close to complete, and all the essential 3D creatures have been modelled. Right now, only three tilesets remain to be finalized.

Interior levels are 60% done and ready to review. On the other hand, only the Red Mountain, Ashlands and Zafirbel Bay are still in progress. All the other exterior levels are complete. The team is also making good progress on animations, asset implementation and navmesh.

The Skywind has also made strong progress on weathers, the spell VFX is 75% complete. And while overall development is progressing steadily, there is still a lot of work left. So, I don’t think we’ll see Skywind in 2025. Or at least that’s the vibe I got from its Progress Update.

Speaking of Skyrim, here are some big fan expansions for it. The First one is Wyrmstooth. Wyrmstooth will add new quests and dungeons to the game. Then there is this mod that brings elements from The Witcher games into Skyrim. Dragon Hall Tavern is a huge 2GB mod that adds quests, new places, an arena, and more. Then there’s  Land of Vominhem, Apotheosis and Legacy of the Dragonborn. Don’t forget to also check out this Castlevania-inspired mod. Modders have also recreated the classic PSX game, MediEvil in Skyrim. Shumer and the Priest Kings is another DLC fan expansion mod with over 200 locations and 180+ quests. You can also download an amazing Call of Duty Mod for it. Oh, and here is another one that adds the cool Nemesis system from Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor to it. Lastly, we have this mod that adds six new islands to explore.

And that’s not all. Skyrim has other mods that add lots of cool stuff.

For instance, this mod allows you to destroy a lot of objects. You can also download this mod that makes the NPCs smarter. With this mod, NPCs will now have a dynamic AI system, and they’ll seek for cover. Let’s also not forget this mod that adds unlimited dynamic light sources. Or how about this one that adds a dynamic sanity system?

Then we have this mod that adds a real-time dismemberment system. Plus, you can download these free NVIDIA DLSS 3 and FSR 3.0 mods. There is also a 112GB Mod that remasters all 32,000 textures to 8K. Finally, these mods add Subsurface Scattering, Dynamic Cubemaps, Water Caustics and Parallax Mapping to the game.

Lots of mods for Skyrim, right? And you can find even more. So, be sure to check out our Best Skyrim Mods article.

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
