OpenMW 0.47.0 Release Announcement


OpenMW is a free and open-source game engine capable of running Bethesda's popular RPG "The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind". It is developed and maintained by the OpenMW team. Running natively on Windows, Linux, and macOS, OpenMW is already a near-perfect, fully functional replacement of the original engine and provides a stable gaming experience with a lot of QoL improvements for the player. It also supports most Morrowind mods except for those relying on the Morrowind Script Extender (MWSE). The TES3MP fork of our project enables native multiplayer support.

For our 1.0.0 release, we want to flesh out OpenMW even more. After that, we are free to dehardcode any of the game mechanics in order to enhance OpenMW's modding capabilities far beyond anything which was possible in the original engine; the upcoming Lua scripting support is a first glimpse at what's to come. We also ship our engine with its own editor, OpenMW-CS, which will eventually allow developers to not only create mods but their own games in the OpenMW engine.
