Skywind is a total recreation of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, built from the ground up in the more modern Skyrim: Special Edition engine.

Skywind sheds the shackles of the older game, bringing modern graphics, assets, and sounds, a full cast of voice actors and all the benefits of fifteen years of gaming improvements, while preserving the incredible characters, locations, and quests with which Morrowind charmed the world all those years ago.

New gameplay demo and previous stream:

Watched the livestream.
Looks like morrowind but plays like skyrim, as expected which is a good thing, however, it is hard to be excited for something that won't be coming out in the next 2 or 3 years anyway.

So they made an Xbox game look like an Xbox 360 game? And it won't be done for a couple years?

They are making a game with late 90's tech into a ~2010 tech game
But yeah, its nowhere near release

It's more of a remake .not just conversion.theyr adding new assets quests voices

 

[TrueLegend]

This is great work, absolutely phenomenal.

 

[GenericUser]

Wake me up when some of these remake projects are actually being finished. I'm soooo tired of these (admittedly awesome) work in progress trailers.

 

[killatopak]

Will only play if he still looks like this

The Virgin Skywind vs the Chad Daggerfall Unity.

 

[Holammer]

Not a huge fan of Elderscolls but that looked pretty legit for a fan project.

Which version of Skyrim do you need for big moda like this? SE?

Yes. It's right there in the first sentence of the post.

The reason being the Anniversary or the VR edition is still getting constant updates along with stuff on Creation Club.

This means there's no stable version for mods as an update may break a mod especially for mods as huge as these.

Sorry, my eyes skipped right over that, thank you!

Found this video showing how the Mawia Necro quest looks like in the original Morrowind. They really fleshed it out with scripting, voice acting and environmental storytelling.

 

[amigastar]

Voice acting is superb as are many other things, i hope they will make it ready sooner than later. But it seems it will take a good time to finish it.
I might finally try Morroblivion until then.

 

[Emedan]

They've been working on this for like 10 years now.

 

[amigastar]

Like the video says the real work began in 2016.

 

[MrRibeye]

I hope Josh Strife Hayes will play this when it gets finished.

It's an ambitious project for sure. Modders are doing this on their free time. I'm surprised it even is what it is today. Let them cook I say. I just hope it doesn't just fumble out and become nothing after all this work, although it would most likely land on someone's else lap to carry the torch if the OGs of this project would stop because of other projects in life, health reasons, etc.

[amigastar]

This looks fantastic.
I hope they will finish it 2026.

 

[Rheon]

This was really great. I'm liking the environmental design a lot.

 

[ratburger]

I hope they will finish it 2026.

Based on how far along they are, I'd estimate 2H 2027 as the earliest possible release. More likely 2028+ though.
