Since its debut in 2002, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind has been hailed as one of the greatest RPGs of all time. With multiple Game of the Year awards under its belt, the game remains a fan favorite despite showing its age more than 20 years later. While fans continue to hope for an official remaster from Bethesda, the modding community has taken matters into its own hands—creating ambitious projects to bring Morrowind into the modern era.
One of the most ambitious projects yet comes from YouTuber and modder InfernoPlus, who is currently working on a Morrowind Elden Ring mod that blends the two legendary franchises. The goal is to port the entire Morrowind world into Elden Ring’s engine, merging Bethesda’s iconic open-world RPG with FromSoftware’s modern combat and visuals.
The Legacy of Morrowind Mods
Fans of The Elder Scrolls series are no strangers to large-scale mods. For example:
-
Project Tamriel seeks to bring the whole continent of Tamriel into Morrowind’s engine while staying true to its original lore.
-
Tamriel Rebuilt expands the mainland of Morrowind, adding new cities, NPCs, and quests that flesh out the world even further.
These long-term community efforts highlight just how beloved Morrowind remains after two decades.
Morrowind Reimagined in Elden Ring
InfernoPlus originally started the port as a Dark Souls 3 project before shifting to Elden Ring to take advantage of its more advanced lighting, weather systems, and expansive world. In progress videos, each region of Morrowind has been carefully re-created:
-
Ashlands are covered in gray skies and ash storms.
-
Bitter Coast is swampy, rainy, and atmospheric.
-
Swamps have even been turned into the notorious poison bogs that Souls fans both dread and love.
While the world of Morrowind is already taking shape, much remains unfinished. Gameplay systems, clothing, armor, and bosses still need to be adapted to fit the new engine. InfernoPlus has invited the community to assist in completing this colossal modding project.
A Project Still in Progress
At this stage, the Morrowind Elden Ring mod is only about halfway done. Despite the incomplete state, it already showcases how much potential lies in blending Bethesda’s expansive lore with FromSoftware’s unforgiving gameplay style.
In the meantime, Morrowind fans can still explore other mods that polish the aging classic. Texture overhauls, lighting upgrades, and expansions like Lyithdonea – The Azurian Isles provide new areas to explore and give fans a fresh reason to revisit Vvardenfell.
The Future of Morrowind in Modern Gaming
With Bethesda focused on The Elder Scrolls VI, it may be years before fans see an official Morrowind remaster. Until then, ambitious projects like this ensure the game’s legacy continues to thrive. If completed, InfernoPlus’ Morrowind Elden Ring mod could stand as one of the most impressive fan creations in RPG history—uniting two legendary worlds in a way fans never thought possible.
