The team hasshowcased a short walkthroughof the wilds ofSkyrim, displaying how radically different the game looks when using a preset library of over 200 items.

Of course, this is running on a beast of a PC, so you’ll need something similar to try it out for yourself, and it’s only a demo to show what’s possible, but fans are loving it.

“That is howSkyrimlooked and felt for me when I first played it as a kid 13 years ago,” said one YouTube comment.

Mutkagames says, “Actually impressing how good moddedSkyrimcan be made to look if this is UE5, since this could easily pass as a normalSkyrimvideo.”

You can achieve something very similar to this with mods available across the internet, but it’s still an interesting experiment to see the game running in a new engine.

Could this be a glimpse at whatThe Elder Scrolls VImight look like?

“I’m crying now because this is beautiful to watch,” says jodiepalmer2404.
