I know this might be a niche opinion, but I had to stop playing Arx Fatalis because it literally disgusted me.

The game's soundscape is full of NPCs coughing, swallowing their phlegm, spitting, sneezing, snoring... my Jeebuz. I really couldn't take it.

One man team full of good intentions but I don't have high hopes with such projects. I don't think there's any need for total conversion. Prefer improvements to the gameplay aspects like the Arx Insanity mod. There's also Arx Extended mod which is still getting attention from the author.

Then there's Libertatis still seeing (slowly but steady) changes to the code in the form of snapshots. Though I wonder why they don't release a newer, updated version with all the developments, so far?

"Improving" models will only decrease the likelihood of this being "completed".

I just hope this to be a faithful one that comes with goodies of modern engine and ideally some modding possibilities with Unreal editor. (Also tone down that harsh light/shadow and floor reflection.)

This game was playable at the start but time made it unplayable until recently (maybe a bit more than 5 years ago?.

If this remake makes it in about a few years I won't be angry. Arx Fatalis is a great forgotten gem.

Someone is again toying with a (different) remake in Unreal:









This is not nearly as far along as the videos from the previous attempt though. Seems to be using the original meshes and textures. Having the secondary inventory open over the container instead of at the screen edge is a neat idea even if it look silly without changing the inventory texture.

More progress:



Don't really see the point of these UE4 remakes but if you wanted to make one then focusing on systems first before recreating the levels is probably a better approach to something that can be released. Doesn't look like neither of these cares to actually share their work before they get there though.

Arx Fatalis is still kinda OK? Also finished it 2 times meanwhile this cosmic horror is in work in progress.

Game is for 1 dolar on Steam BTW
