The goal
- The complete original campaign and game rules
- Modern keyboard, mouse, controller, and display support
- Improved stability and dependable saves
- Mod-friendly data and tools
- Optional quality-of-life improvements

In active development
The starting dungeon’s visual reconstruction is now the accepted reference for the rest of the game. I’m finishing its shared gameplay and interface work before moving into the wider map.
The full game is not finished, and there is no public build or release date yet.

A few answers
FAQ
Is this an official Bethesda or ZeniMax project?
No. Arena Rebuilt is an independent fan reconstruction and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Bethesda Softworks or ZeniMax Media.
Can I play it yet?
Not publicly. There is no download or release date yet.
Will the faithful remake stay separate?
Yes. Rebuilding the complete original game comes first and remains its own mode.
What comes after the faithful remake?
The long-term World of Tamriel idea may eventually place the preserved Arena campaign in a continuous Tamriel, but that comes later and does not replace the faithful reconstruction.
