It's this about skyblivion or what? It doesn't mention.
Skyblivion has been developing very publicly for years.
- No, this is about the official remaster from Bethesda
- Mentioned in the first paragraph:
  After years of rumors and speculation that Bethesda was working on a remake of the landmark role-playing game, the first screenshots of this brand new version of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion have been found as fans started digging around the developer’s website ahead of a reported release next week.
- There seems to be a lot of confusion. It's not Skyrim. It's not Skyblivion. It's not a port or a remaster.
  It is a FULL REMAKE in a NEW engine.
  
  Apparently it's called a remaster, not a remake.
  
  According to a leak from 2 years ago.
  It is done currently using a pairing system, so it means that the remaster is running using both an Unreal Engine 5 project, and the old Oblivion one. For instance, new graphics are rendered in the UE5 project, but most of the gameplay/physics/etc is still done in Oblivion.
  
  I hope that's not the case, seems like it could be a train wreck.
  On the other hand...it would make modding easier.
  
  Read it again. Under the hood, it's the same old game. Just rendering will be handled by UE5 (if this leak is accurate of course).
  
  Ok? Doesn't change that the game is titled a remaster (if the leaks are true).
  
  Man, your reading comprehension needs work. Dude literally said it's not a new engine, and you first responded "So it's a new engine, you're wrong," and then, "Doesn't matter if it's a new engine, you're wrong."
  Based on what you responded to, no, it's not a new engine, it's a new rendering engine being overlayed in the exact same way Halo CE Anniversary did.
  Not like it matters what I say, you already realized you were wrong and moved the goalposts with that "Demon's Souls" comment.
  
  IDK where you get that.
  Remasters just improve the textures, maybe add new lighting techniques. They're practically just mods for the OG thing.
  
  New engine as in an updated creation engine or new engine as in they finally gave up on creation engine
  
  People are saying it's UE5.
  Years ago, when it was leaked, a poster said this:
  It is done currently using a pairing system, so it means that the remaster is running using both an Unreal Engine 5 project, and the old Oblivion one. For instance, new graphics are rendered in the UE5 project, but most of the gameplay/physics/etc is still done in Oblivion.
  
  I remember reading back in December/January that it's going to be a mix of Unreal Engine 5 and the Gamebryo Engine from the original.
