I understand that the visuals have been remade in UE5. Is the base gameplay engine still Creation?

I don't believe it was changed, but if it was then they took great care in making sure it still has the Oblivion Jank™ that gave the original its charm. I've certainly seen some of the questionable pathfinding and wacky item physics that I remembered from way back in 2006.

Its UE5 on top of the Creation engine. Impressively they retextured everything and likely uses Lumen GI, with two graphic modes on Series X. It looks modern but feels classic.

Admittedly I was worried at first and thought "oh no, this looks a little too good", but then I got into the Imperial City, saw that the NPC's all have Jim Carrey-ish rubber faces and the added lip syncing is just off enough to greatly exaggerate that, and was quite satisfied that it's still very much Oblivion.
Like they were really careful to make sure it wasn't that noticeable in the opening part with the emperor, but beyond that... not so much.

I first played Oblivion straight after finishing Skyrim as a felt i needed more of that Elder Scrolls crack. Didn't enjoy it as much at the time as Skyrim had moved everything on graphically and in comparison Oblivion just felt old. Watched the trailor for this last night and it's got me pining for Cyrodiil once again. It looks gooood.
Perhaps one to add to the watchlist for when its discounted.

I'm playing Oblivion for the first time. There aren't enough hours in the day for this game. It may grab me harder than Skyrim.
