## Key points

- A fan is bringing N-Gage game *Shadowkey* to modern platforms.
- The project adds widescreen, controller support and optional gameplay features.
- It requires the original game files and keeps audio from *Morrowind*.

## Summary

A fan is reviving *The Elder Scrolls Travels: Shadowkey*, a little-known first-person role-playing game originally released for Nokia’s short-lived N-Gage handheld. Dan Whelan’s Shadowkey Reforged project aims to make the spin-off playable on modern devices, preserving a part of the series’ history that was tied to discontinued hardware.

The remake is planned for Windows, Mac and Android, with widescreen support, controller options and upscaled graphics. Players can choose classic or modern mode, or toggle features individually; modern additions include sprinting, stealth and ragdoll physics. The project will retain music and sound effects from *Morrowind*, but requires the original game files. Whelan says he used AI to help with coding and debugging, and to create much of the higher-resolution artwork.
