-------------------
The Atmora team is still looking for volunteers! We always welcome new recruits and are especially looking for concept artists, environment artists, and 3D artists! To apply to Atmora, head to beyondskyrim.org/atmora.
This genuinely feels like the long lost Skyrim DLC Bethesda never got out.
To me it feels as Skyrim as it should have been acording to the original PGE description of province and what we saw in Bloodmoon DLC.
@@Sheogorath3477 You're right. Skyrim shouldn't even have vegetation in the lore.
@@FruitloopLeviathan Except Reach hold, it was the only place with warm enough climate to grow something beside snowberries.
@@Sheogorath3477 That's another thing that Bethesda didn't do well in Skyrim: the reachman.
@@FruitloopLeviathan It's still piss me off what we have a reachmen dedicated dungeon with an appearence of generic nordic ruins.
Out of all of the Beyond Skyrim mods this is the one I'm most excited for
honestly same, especially since atmora was featured in none of the es games so far :)
💯 %
I'm not.
Cringe cause its already so similar to Skyirim. This is a waste of time when this team could be helpigng with Cyrodiil
@@Palendrome Atmoran is more about exploring new gameplay over a new setting. It lends itself to the survival mods as there is limited civilization, extreme cold, and unexplored lands. Atmora also requires fewer art assets due to similarities with Skyrim.
I feel like the larger, less dense map of Atmora really fits the atmospere of a frozen wasteland. Hope it turns out well as it looks pretty good
Based on Starfield, that is less engaging than you would think.
@@badluck5647 Yep. This expansion is kind of cringe nd these devs should ust be helping with cyrodiil. These games arent made for enourmous expanses, but curated tight maps
@@Palendrome Atmoran is more about exploring new gameplay over a new setting. It lends itself to the survival mods as there is limited civilization, extreme cold, and unexplored lands. Atmora also requires fewer art assets due to similarities with Skyrim.
@Palendrome bruh, go help out if you want Cyrodiil to come out faster 😂
@@badluck5647 Fool. Starfield have a thousand of empty worlds repeating the same points of interest over and over again. This mod is set in a _frozen continent full with the ruins of a previous civilization._ You cannot compare one with the other.
Can't wait for the entirety of Beyond Skyrim to release in 2040
lol make that 2050
Tbh I'm guessing everything will be done in 2033 😂
I'm going to play this game with my son and maybe grandson at that period of time. XD
The progress they made in 2024 is huge so it won't be THAT long before the mods releases, besides ES6 would probably still not be out in 2040 😂
My hope is they release Atmora, Iliac Bay and Morrowind by 2026
My archaeologist's load order gonna be lit.
Imagine how massive Skyrim will be once all of the beyond projects are finished just think of the potential hours of gameplay
its probably never getting released
Honestly I'm surprised Atmora has such a small team compared to other projects. Atmora's desolation and mystery seems by far the most intriguing to me.
Small, but dedicated 😉
Atmora was once described as a land of long green summers, now a frozen wasteland. I hope this mod explores what caused the massive change in Atmora's climate.
You are aware this is a fan made mod correct? What ever explanation they give would be a theory at best and fan fiction at worst.
@@ForestX77 I'm well aware of that, yes. I'm also aware that we'll likely never get an explanation of any kind from Bethesda so any explanation, even from a fan made mod is better than nothing.
As far as im aware its basically because of the fact that in lore, nirn functions like a timeline. Akavir which is far to the east experiences events in the future. Things to the north become frozen in time while things to the south become lost in time (why elves original homeland vanished).
Why atmora wasnt just always a frozen wasteland though im not sure.
I'm very proud of all you modders that work on these Skyrim projects. It's very impressive and exciting. I await patiently for when it's available for a pleb like me.
I think they need to find a way to make it so we have to purchase this but they get 100% of the money
Can’t wait for when ever this releases I’ve been waitin for a new beyond Skyrim mod and can’t wait to come up with builds for when this mod drops hopefully it’s sooner than later
-Nords going to Atmora Shirtless
-Imperials going to Atmora with 100 pounds of mammoth fur wrapped around them
LOL
You killed the pronunciation of the region names. Great stuff
Guys, whatever you do, is gonna be great. The same be said for all teams.
That said, it looks incredible, really incredible.
AFTER DONE WATCHING wow, just wow. All the assets you are creating for ruins, forests etc. will open a new era of modding, that is going to be infinite.
Thank you so much for making this huge Mod!
Im as excited as possible to finally play it!
For me Atmora will always be Hyperborea of Elder Scrolls, ancient, mysterious and mythical.
Same with akavir (:
@@deadsoul7409can’t forgot Yorubia (think I spelt that right)
Alongside Aldmeris and Yokuda as well.
I was pumped before, but the sheer scale of this and the amazing art has me itching to explore this place!
Atmora kind of feel like the Abyss from Made in Abyss, a place that sounds amazing to explore but one you should never be able to return from
Oh, that's ominous. I always wondered why no one in Skyrim had ever gone there. Maybe plenty of people did, no one just returned.
Fancy seeing you here bear. Dont already have enough snow and ice in Caoiva lol?
@@noob19087 It is said that time starts to behave in a strange way the closer You are to Atmora, it is speculated that time in Atmora just... stopped. Maybe Dragonborn personal conection to Divine of Time will help survive this anomaly
@@Fatalitix3 Very interesting lore! I wonder if they incorporated that into this project? I'd love to see actual ancient nords talking about that guy Ysgramor who just left a little while ago. Reminds me of Made In Abyss.
As narrator described Atmora it felt like it was a setting for a game like The Long Dark. I wonder if some survival features could be implemented, places like that seems to have a threathing enviroment, than those who habit it.
While im excited for cyrodil partly bc of how Bruma is, Atmora takes the cake for what I’m most excited about from this project. It seems kinda eerie and spooky.
You do realize that with all this, Atmora WILL require an ice dragon. ❄ 😏
I want a guy who is convinced that Atmora will actually be a paradise, kind of like how "Greenland" is actually nothing but an icy wasteland in real life.
@@noob19087 In the Leif Eriksson found it though, it _was_ a green land with hills of grass to be seen for vast distances due to lack of trees. It was early medieval warmth period after all.
Then again, isn't some kind of drastic climate change something that drove Nords out of Atmora as well?
I want to play Atmora so badly. Hope you make More Trailers Soon!
Good luck with development!
This is truly breathtaking. You've guys are really, really good.
Thank you so much for the hard work
so cool ... pun intended
This area is really going to stand out, being a contradiction to the approach to content-density that the original game and other areas have.
I know Skyrim's density of quests and locations aids engagement a lot, but sometimes I feel that Skyrim is too small. Sometimes I just want to explore some wilderness for more than 90 seconds before I encounter yet another bandit camp or settlement. Atmora seems like it'll give exactly that.
Up north around Winterhold and Dawnstar really fits this in the vanilla game. You can head out into the ocean and it just feels EMPTY and lifeless and it's perfect. I hope it has that same vibe.
@@OCinneidenot the same at all, that’s the empty ocean, of course that empty. Talking about actual wilderness
I'll look into AU to learn more and see how i can help. Skyrim and the TES lore it represents is amazing imho. I didn't enjoy ESO nearly as much. Great showcase!
Waw, you are doing such an awesome work!
Keep up the good work boys
Who needs elder scrolls 6 when we have beyond Skyrim can't wait for it all to release
I’ve been waiting for this mod for aaaaaaages, I just hope I can play it someday at all. Hopefully it’s all worth the wait. Tbh I’ve always been most excited for this mod.
Frankly, we need an ES DLC or (even better, in the far future no doubt at best) a proper game set in mythic ages of ES so we can see ancient Tamriel, Atmora, Yokuda, and Aldmeris.
Greatest project among all other beyond Skyrim creations. It would have been great if we only could get this mod without any quests. Only a land to explore
Cannot wait for this!
This is going to be the BEST survival challenge playing this with Sunhelm. Also... I'm MORE excited for all the Beyond Skyrim projects than TES 6. Beyond Skyrim Bruma earned them that.
I'm getting KOTOR vibes when you go explore Korriban except this is an icy version with ancient Nord temples reminding me of ancient Sith temples and ruins, etc. Very cool.
Reminds you of icelands north of the wall in early game of thrones.
I’m most hyped for this, even though I’m on Xbox just to see the full release would be amazing
I'd love to play it with hypothermia mod.
My worries regarding Atmora mostly revolve around an overt bleakness and possible lack of characters/personalities.
The cave-exploring and combat in vanilla Skyrim wore on me as it is. And lore-wise, what we know about Atmora doesn't leave a lot of room for upbeat moments. So I wonder how this project is going to balance the mood and tone.
From the concept art it looks like the long dark mixed with more horror elements. Terrifyingly beautiful
Love this guy's voice
I think it’s quite clear that TES 6 will likely fail to meet expectations, but I’ve become more than comfortable with my Dragonborn, and honestly I feel like community content like this is what truly will maintain my interest in TES.
Looks chilly, might need a jacket!
Ironic, given this is the only Beyond Skyrim project I've followed/anticipated
Skyrim's Skyrim.
Its Bestheda's version of the lands of always winter.
Love this but we cant wait another year.
This looks like it should be a new game
Looking at the frozen landscape and listening to the narrator, who sounds a lot like Arthus, really gave me WC3 vibes
To the North lies our ancient and forgotten past but also our destiny!
SERANA, LYDIA, FREA, J'ZARGO, VILJA, INIGO, SOFIA PACK YOUR BAGS WE'RE GOING ON A ROAD TRIP!
Oh wow Atmora really ain’t coming out anytime soon. Damn
Nothing from them is coming anytime lol, it’s just a vanity project
@@KirihitoSanit’s not a vanity project, it’s a passion project, I truly doubt any of the people involved are looking for praise when there is little to gain from being a volunteer on these projects
@@KirihitoSan do you mean Atmora or all of the BS projects
Since it's the smallest of the bunch, I was hoping we'd get a release date but yeah... this ain't releasing for a while
@@RobotWithHumanHair. I think all of them tbh. It’s been so long since Bruma (and that one wasn’t even THAT great to me)
It is sad to hear that most of what was done before and since the 2017 trailer until 2022 will have to be scrapped, regardless of how much or how little it was. Still, I wish you good luck with the mod, may you have a lot of success.
Magnificent mod and excellent presentation 👌🏻
Which is the next Beyond Skyrim that is coming out? And when? I only know of Beyond Skyrim Bruma that has come out, which was some years ago now (it seems). So I'm wondering when is the next one coming and was there any other smaller releases by them that I missed after Bruma?
I am more sympathetic than most when it comes to time and work needed to finish and release, but come on. What the hell are these targets? Thousands of exterior cells? Dozens of interiors? Less modders than all the other chapters? Tone it down. Tone it way down, or put it on hold and join the other teams until you can get more talent from their pools. This is ridiculous in scope and cannot be managed. Who is going to navmesh all those cells, who is going to do the exterior design? How many weeks or months will you wait on individual models or tilesets? In 4 - 5 years, will the team still consist of the same people that have the same ideas about what to do with Atmora? Or will there be ANOTHER clean up when a new lead wants to pivot??? It's fitting I suppose that Atmora, the land of ice, is moving at a glacial pace.
I can't wait for this 😀
Nice
Noooice
Beyond Skyrim is so hype wish i could donate but im poor lol
Impressive!
Hopefully you guys remember that the atmorans were giants. So reusing the architecture from Skyrim will not feel right, especially since most of skyrim's current style is influenced by both the imperials and before them the dragons.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Wonderful video!
Hoping for some Tiber Septim easter eggs!
I hope there'll also be some ancient Altmoran (Elven) ruins, maybe so deep underground that even the Atmorans have forgotten of them.
?? If I'm correct I thought mer were only on Tamriel and atmora was where humans were originally from. Is there lore of mer ever being in atmora??
@@HillbillyGamer7i believe they never made it that far north
I can safely say this is probably not coming to Xbox it looks like it would be too much for the mod size cap that Microsoft has placed on the game. Bummer gaming PCs are just too expensive even trying to build one by the time you were done your stuff would be outdated...😢
❤❤
Atmora feels to me like a Dark Souls region, with the lack of civilization and the abundance of ruins.
im very proud to at the beguining of this project i gave the idea of making it a an expedition
Honestly Bethesda going out to get milk for 20 years is maybe one of the best things to happen to the TES series. If TES VI came out a decade earlier I'm not sure if enthusiasm for such gigantic projects could have continued for this long.
brr cold
found this mod from a video from 6 years ago. i know its not easy but not even some gameplay or a screenshot yet?
And what about that large area in the center of the map that's covered by the clouds? :]
I assume that's work in progress and not just an empty space that kills you if you walk on it. :D
What the heck is that antlered thing at 1:52?
Atmoran elk. They are a lot more savage than the tamed ones in Skyrim.
@@socialenigma4476 standing on 2 legs?
@@galacticironmike4516 Yeah. They're pretty badass. Atmora is hardcore. That's why the nords left for Skyrim. They just couldn't handle it anymore.
@@socialenigma4476how do you know that’s what the creature is? There’s little to no lore about any living creatures there
@@RobotWithHumanHair. ysgramor was my homie back in the day. He used to tell me stories about them over a large flagon of mead.
The Beyond Skyrim Addon/Mod - when you download do you get all the islands etc or do you have to download them individually?
Giant bosses, ruined cities, treacherous beasts roaming the wilds
Nordic Dark Souls?
How is this going to work with dialogue and NPC's? Are there characters there to interact with or just ghosts etc?
There will be at least some npcs for sure. You'll arrive to Atmora with an expedition group, and, to my understanding, a good portion of the gameplay and story will involve trying to survive the freezing cold while uncovering Atmora's ancient and forgotten history.
These mods are never coming out it's been 7 years now and not a single thing since Bruma.
100% gave up on em long ago LOL 🤣
LET THE MODDERS COOK
Just a thought:
Although I've always loved the visuals of ancient nordic ruins, I still can't find any reasonable explanation for them to build those monumental structures *in stone* considering the surrounding climate (in Atmora as well as in Skyrim). From a practical point of view they are nothing but a giant liability, I would gather. Their heating and maintenance would most definitely be unsurmountable cost and effort-wise.
The only thing that I could come up with (because I really want to find an excuse for it), is that maybe the magical culture of the Atmorans was so advanced and all-pervading that it was really not a big deal. But for something so mysterious and little known it sounds like a very lazy explanation.
I think it's because it's so tedious, it's an accomplishment for them to make. Nords are incredibly stubborn, after all
Actually the theory for the megalothic structures of the Nords had to do with some 'ancient magic' that Atmorans had. I believe Epicnate talked about it in his recent Skyrim video about Giants
Fuck yes
So yet another "change in direction" with the consequence of deleting a lot of the work thas has hithertho been done? And then - even proudly - stating that it will be "huge" with 1783 cells? Just keep it small or medium sized so that it has at least a minor chance of actually getting finished.
Let's hope the native Atmorans ya'll write dialogue for are not Atmorons, amirite? Make them jolly good fellows!
When I'd it coming out?
Probably 2030 or later
never
What if all ice and snow will melt
The draugr in Atmora will lose their habitats 😥
wheres akavie?
I love this but it probably too ambitious and hence will take too long. Halve the size of the content that is not complete. Dont make it so big it'll take years and thousands of man-hours to make. Make something that is short and sweet and can be published.
Okay, concept art?
What about it
I'm usually not that negative, but... Throwing out every asset that came before and starting from scratch? After a few years of hyping the project? Plus overambitious concept creep... This is not looking great, as sad as I am to admit it. It's one project I'm most excited for too.
The Problem was that many assets were bugy or unusable. We had assets with so many thris that they crasched the game if you came near them stuff like this Was removed.
They also did this with Iliac Bay. I had helped on these projects in the past and the sad reality is most of them will not see the light of day due to poor management and resource allocation :/
It’s not anyone’s fault, these open projects are insane to manage and unfortunately it sometimes ends up in a loop of development hell.
We're not throwing EVERYTHING out, but probably a third or so. When we began cleaning the files, we had about 3,5K assets. About a third of those were either so bad or so broken that we had to remove them. Another third is at least salvageable! We've thrown those assets onto a "fix it" board, where our 3D artists can redo the models and textures to make 'em look presentable
Honestly, this is just a pipe dream at this point. If they wanted to make these really work they would throw everything at each province working 1 at a time and release each province as it's own mod.
Multiple projects have been totally wiped, some of them multiple times.
They are never going to finish this stuff within the decade.
will it be on consoles?
Doubt it, maybe Xbox series x but not series s or PS4. Too big but don't worry this ain't coming out in our lifefimes
@@HillbillyGamer7 thanks bro 👍
What’s wrong with the story you already had?
Are you guys ever gonna release something, it’s like your all over the place just home in on something and finish it, it’s been like 10 years since Bruma
It’s literally free mods made by passionate people, have some patience lmao, who cares how long it takes
Prob not
@@reality_is_sinso you’re cool with a 2035 release
"Boo hoo, the modders didn't release it when I wanted to" 🙄
Are you going to start paying the Beyond Skyrim teams or join them to help? I agree I think they are stretched too thin with how many projects are actively being worked on at once however these are just normal people with normal lives that are making mods for a 13 year old game for free. Or are you just here to complain that modders aren't working fast enough for you like an entitled child?
It's just a shame that the Fallout and The Elder Scrolls and Starfield IPs are in the hands of those fools at Bethesda Game Studios. Imagine what the modder community could do if they owned those IPs (or had the permission to develop them in parallel with BGS)!
Release date ? Plz don't reply in sarcasm
Because it's a volunteer project and no one is working on it full-time, progress isn't consistent enough to guarantee when it'll release until it's like 99% done
@@arcanedreamer1640 I see thanks 🙏
These people are working for free and things happen. They can’t give a release date if things don’t work out
How long has this whole Beyond Skyrim project been going for and all we have had release is what Bruma?
the lead developer himself said that he had no idea and since this will not be getting a demo release its not coming out anytime soon
Please, make a translation English to French.
