One Elder Scrolls fan is reviving and upgrading (with AI) a lost spin-off for the Nokia N-Gage and porting it to PC

Dan Whelan is bringing back the Elder Scrolls spin-off Shadowkey, originally released for Nokia's N-Gage handheld device in 2005. This first-person RPG will be available on PC with enhanced graphics, controller support, and widescreen support. Players can choose between classic or modern graphics modes, with modern mode featuring additional features like stamina-based sprinting, stealth mechanics, and ragdoll physics.

Shadowkey Reforged will also include the Morrowind soundtrack and sound effects. The project utilized AI assistance in coding, engine development, debugging, and image generation for the modern artwork. The game will be released on November 11, and can be downloaded from the project's website. Users will need their original N-Gage files or access to an abandonware site.
