Summary
A newly announcedStarfieldmod hopes to bring the lands of not one, not two, but three titles fromThe Elder Scrollsfranchise to Bethesda Game Studios' latest RPG experience.Starfieldis set to receive a major official content drop when its first story expansion,Shattered Space, releases later this year.
Much like previous Bethesda titles,Starfieldhas managed to build a solid community of modders since launching last September. Some of what are regarded as thebest mods forStarfieldare humble projects that provide players with significant quality-of-life improvements, such as the ones that unlock more in-depth graphic options. On the other hand, there are also mods that overhaulStarfieldand essentially transform the sci-fi RPG into a different game. A recently announced mod wants to do just that by recreating the worlds of several past Bethesda titles inStarfield.
Project Tamriel is a mod that aims to bring the lands ofMorrowind,Oblivion, andSkyrimtoStarfield, making a unified and seamless recreation of Bethesda’s iconic fantasy setting. In a recent Reddit post, the development team said that its ambitious project will feature the three aforementioned titles' landscapes, quests, and items. The group’s vision is to create a cohesive and detailed world where fans can rediscover, among other things, theirfavorite adventures inThe Elder Scrollsuniverse.
Unified Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim Mod in Starfield
The Project Tamriel team plans to release the mod in sections, withSkyrimbeing the first to be put out, followed byOblivionandMorrowind. Modders, artists, and fans of bothStarfieldandThe Elder Scrollsare invited to join the group in making the ambitious concept a reality. In a similar story, a group of modders is trying torecreateOblivionusingSkyrim’s engine.
Skyrimruns on an older version of the Creation Engine 2. The newer engine that powersStarfield, which features modern graphics technologies like real-time global illumination and improved volumetric lighting, will reportedly powerThe Elder Scrolls 6as well. In an interview that was published last August, Pete Hines, then Bethesda’s head of publishing, confirmed that the next entry inThe Elder Scrollsseries had already left pre-production. However, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer pointed out just a few months prior in June that the upcomingThe Elder Scrollstitle was, at that point, still five or more years away from being released.
Shattered Space,Starfield’s first story DLC, is set to launch in fall 2024. A trailer for the expansion that was revealed at the recent Xbox Games Showcase teased a new planet, as well as long-awaited ground vehicles.
