Recently, Digital Dreams has unveiled a video showing The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind running with Unreal Engine 5. And the result is impressive, with many improvements.

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind is a game that left a lasting impression on thousands of players when it was released in 2002. And this, notably thanks to its universe in which players embody a character on the volcanic island of Vvardenfell.

But if this title offers many features to gamers, its graphics have also contributed to its success. And recently, Digital Dreams has unveiled a video in which it is possible to see Morrowind running with the Unreal Engine 5

And the result is impressive, because if we keep the aesthetics of the game released in 2002, it is possible to see several improvements. Indeed, from the beginning, we can observe water that reflects different lights and seems quite realistic with various movements. 

But that's not all, because the other textures are also beautiful, such as stone buildings and other monuments, which are more detailed and brighter. Not to mention the environment in which the player wanders, which seems more hostile, especially when fog appears.

However, if the rendering is beautiful and impressive, some people may not like it. It must be said that the graphics remain from another era, and it can be difficult to see the improvements. But for others, the aesthetics of this 2002 game are very important, and it even allows to bring a certain touch of nostalgia for Skyrim fans.
