While he does not rule out the possibility of a remake, he expressed doubts about the availability of the source code for Morrowind, which could complicate its development. Instead of focusing on reviving a classic, he suggested that it might be more appealing to create a new game that &#8220;avoids the things that wouldn&#8217;t have survived.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Elder Scrolls III : Morrowind Trailer\" width=\"840\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Cr3TCWPlDrw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>Additionally, some critics believe that <strong>other Elder Scrolls titles, such as Daggerfall or Battlespire, might be more deserving of a remaster<\/strong>.
