The remaster features a reworked progression system. While the 21 classic skills return, the controversial level-scaling of the original has been redesigned to be more akin to Skyrim's system, where the world has a mix of static-level and level-scaled enemies. This provides a more balanced difficulty curve. The core mechanic of improving your seven chosen Major Skills to level up remains.

Character enhancement revolves around acquiring superior equipment and unlocking new 'moves' or 'skills' through progression. Players pilot and customize modular 'Arsenal' mechs, salvaging parts from defeated enemies to upgrade every component. Out-of-mech pilot customization is also expanded with new skills and augmentations.

The game world is a remastered version of Cyrodiil from the original game, a 16 square mile (41 km²) map. It features diverse regions, including the Great Forest, the swamps of Blackwood, the snowy Jerall Mountains, the Gold Coast, and the Nibenay Valley, all surrounding the massive Imperial City at its center.

The game shifts from instanced missions to a single, enormous, and seamless open world called the Blue Planet. The world features diverse biomes like shattered cities, frozen wastelands, and desolate fields, with dynamic weather systems that directly impact gameplay.

• OFFICIAL PC SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS from the game's release on Steam (April 2025). These specifications reflect the demands of the Unreal Engine 5 graphical overhaul layered on top of the original game's core logic.
• Laptop Performance Note: Laptop models of the listed desktop GPUs require comparable performance, which is heavily dependent on the laptop's TGP (Total Graphics Power) and cooling solution. A modern gaming laptop that meets or exceeds these specifications is recommended.
• Laptop Consideration: G P U T G P: Sufficient TGP is essential for laptop GPUs to match the performance of their desktop counterparts and maintain stable framerates.
• Laptop Consideration: Cooling Thermals: Effective cooling is crucial to prevent performance throttling during long gameplay sessions in the detailed open world.
• Laptop Consideration: C P U Power Limits: A strong CPU is needed for handling the complex Radiant AI, physics, and maintaining performance in busy cities or large battles.
• Laptop Consideration: M U X Switch Optimus: Recommended for bypassing the integrated GPU to reduce latency and maximize performance in first-person combat.
• Optimization Detail: Upscaling Tech: The game includes support for NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR, and Intel XeSS, allowing players to achieve higher framerates at demanding resolutions.
• Optimization Detail: Key Settings Impact: Shadow Quality, Texture Quality, God Rays, Foliage Density, and View Distance are the most performance-intensive settings.
