The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is not getting a proper remake anytime soon, leaving it to fans of the long-running series to reimagine locations from the iconic game using modern technology.

One of these fans is YouTube user Leo Torres, who has been recreating cities from the popular game using Unreal Engine 5. Their latest recreation is a recreation of Falkreath made using Unreal Engine 5.3.2 and some of its features, such as Nanite, which was used for all models and foliage, and hardware Lumen for global illumination and reflections. NVIDIA DLAA was also used to improve visual quality.
