Umbra – Oblivion Remastered Fan Rework

Umbra – Oblivion Remastered Fan Rework

This is my reinterpretation of Umbra, the infamous soul-devouring sword from The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. I wanted to preserve its ominous presence while pushing the design further into cursed artifact territory—less of a simple weapon, more of a vessel for stolen souls.

Instead of copying the original directly, I used it as a foundation and sculpted my own vision of what Umbra might look like if it had been reforged in secret, deep within a Daedric realm. Subtle runes, unnatural geometry, and a sense of spiritual weight were all key to how I approached this redesign.

The mod is now available as a full replacement in Oblivion Remastered, and can be downloaded here:

Modeled in ZBrush, textured in Substance Painter, and rendered in Unreal Engine 5.
