OpenTESArena is an open-source project aiming to make Bethesda's original game, The Elder Scrolls: Arena, playable on modern systems by replacing its engine with bespoke technology.
A recent update to OpenTESArena integrates Jolt Physics, enabling actions like climbing, jumping, and swimming while adding hit registering, killable enemies, and item pickups for a smoother gameplay experience.
The project's goal is to replicate all aspects of the original game with quality-of-life improvements, such as a HUD-less UI design to enhance accessibility.
While OpenTESArena is still a work in progress with certain features missing, it provides a revamped experience of The Elder Scrolls: Arena and joins other Elder Scrolls overhaul projects like Daggerfall Unity and Skywind in the gaming community.
