The Elder Scrolls Renewal Project
The Elder Scrolls Renewal Project is a fan volunteer effort to remaster video games in The Elder Scrolls series.
History
The team is best known for its Skywind project, which seeks to remaster the 2002 Morrowind in the 2011 Skyrim game engine.[1] The Renewal Project began with Morroblivion, a Morrowind remaster in the 2006 The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion engine, prior to Skyrim's release. The mod was publicly available on the team's website in 2008.[2] It continued development into 2012 as volunteers began work in the Skyrim engine,[3] coordinated through the Morroblivion website's forums.[4]
Another volunteer team works separately on Skyblivion, a similar but separate project to remaster The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion in the more advanced Skyrim engine. As of mid-2014, the project sought outside help from visual artists and declined voice actors, as Oblivion already featured a full voice cast.[5] The team released a development trailer in May 2014 that showed the remaster in early development,[6] and a gameplay trailer a year later. As of 2015, the game lacked navmesh, a mechanism by which non-player characters wander an environment without becoming lost in other assets.[7] The remaster has no set release date.[8]
