Must moving from the Gamebtyo/Creation Engine to Unreal seems like a huge leap. Wonder how much that'll affect modding capability or recreating popular mods from the original game.
Kinda sad that this'll seemingly overshadow the Skyblivion team's efforts over the past 15 years... Unless they hired some of their team.
I have a feeling Virtuos wouldn't work on the game if it was gamebyro.
I think Bethesda didn't have a choice but to partner with someone, as they don't have the in-house experience with UE5.
I imagine part of why they're even doing this with an old (and internally well-understood) game is so that they can use it as a good starting point to learn UE.
I actually think this is why Sony keeps remastering The Last of Us anytime there's new hardware. It's not so much they feel the game needs it and it's the only way they can keep people playing the series, it's a way for their developers to properly test new hardware and software, using assets they broadly already understand and have on hand.
