Daggerfall Unity is a project that was started by fans of the classic and has finally been completed after almost 10 years of development. For players old and new, it offers the perfect opportunity to experience the 1996 game with more modern graphics.
The Elder Scrolls ll: Daggerfall is a game from 1996 that also produced great games like Super Mario 64, Quake or Pokémon Red and Blue. So it was a pretty good year for gamers of that time and the potential of video games basically exploded back then.
Bethesda released Daggerfall, a game that is still one of the developer’s biggest hits today. And this despite the fact that games like Starfield, Skyrim and Fallout 3 followed and celebrated great success:

However, playing the 1996 title today with more modern technology is quite challenging. It’s no wonder that a few fans decided to work on a remastered version of Daggerfall almost 10 years ago.
This version is called “Daggerfall Unity” and has now celebrated its official 1.0 release. The project is now officially over and could be exactly the reason for some players to return to Tamriel, the world of Daggerfall.
The best thing about it might also be that you can use this new version completely free of charge.
How to play Daggerfall Unity: In order to be able to play this revised version completely free of charge, you must first install the game via Steam. This has also been free for several years.
Then you download the Unity version from the official website, unzip it and give it instructions to find the correct files. You can find more detailed instructions on github.com.
What you can expect in Daggerfall Unity: For everyone who wasn’t able to play the game in 1996, the remaster version offers a whole new adventure. But the new version should also be worth it for old fans, because it doesn’t just shine with new graphics.
Daggerfall offers you 15,000 areas to explore. In comparison, Starfield, for example, has “only” 1,000 planets to visit. There are also some features that you would actually expect from an Elders Scrolls and that definitely make Daggerfall interesting:
