Morthal may not be among the most stunning locations in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, but even a small city like it can look stunning with the help of modern technology.
Leo Torres, who has been remaking towns and cities from the fifth entry in the series by Bethesda using Unreal Engine 5, shared today a new video showcasing recreation of the city with lore-accurate scale made in the 5.4 version of the engine as well as Nanite for all models and foliage and Lumen for global illumination and reflections. Needless to say, the end results look incredible, giving the town the visual identity it kind of lacked in the original game.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was released well over ten years ago, but it continues to receive plenty of attention from modders who have vastly improved the game’s visuals. Unfortunately, a proper remake of the game is nowhere in sight, and with Bethesda currently working on the sixth entry in the series, we may not see one in a very long time, if ever. The studio, thankfully, hasn’t forgotten about its popular game, releasing the Anniversary Edition to celebrate the game’s 10th anniversary with new content and features. Who knows, maybe the 20th anniversary will be the right occasion to release a remake that would certainly be very well received.
