Update: E3 strikes again with another date announcement. The Forgotten City will be arriving for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S on July 28. To commemorate the reveal, a new trailer has dropped which showcases the mystery you'll be uncovering, along with various gameplay elements. Check it out!
Original Story: The Forgotten City originated as a mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and managed to rake in over 3 million downloads on PC. Due to an unprecedented amount of fan feedback, it later became commissioned as a fully fledged title, which will be making its way to Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One sometime this Summer.
Set during the Roman Empire, you'll be stuck in a time loop as you play as a time traveler attempting to solve a mystery. As it began as a Skyrim mod, some of the classic tropes from the Elder Scrolls series remain. Create your character, explore an open-world, and be faced with tough moral decisions as you seek to solve the time loop you're stuck in. It definitely sounds like an interesting spin on the classic RPG formula.
Key Features
- Explore an authentic, open-world ancient Roman city brought to life with Unreal Engine.
- Become entwined in the lives of richly detailed, deeply interactive characters.
- Grapple with moral dilemmas which have life-and-death consequences.
- Investigate a gripping, non-linear mystery with multiple endings.
- Role-play as whoever you want, by choosing your own sex, race and backstory.
- Solve problems your own way, with reason, charm, bribery, stealth, intimidation, or by cleverly exploiting the time-loop.
There's no confirmed date outside of the Summer release window, but we're sure we'll hear something soon enough. The PC community has been pretty vocal with how impressive the mod was, so it seems the final product is in capable hands. Not long until we find out!

Yes! This was one of the best Skyrim mods ever, glad to see the full release coming to Xbox.
Played the mod on Xbox. Music is amazing.
Well i know whats gonna be my yearly summer RPG
As of this post, newegg has the seagate ssd for 10% off. Gotta do the free signup account thing. 54hrs and counting down
you could have just remastered the Skyrim special edition and gave it a series x free upgrade
@MattWithoutFear This looks amazing. How long would you say this mod is? Comparable in length to Skyrim? I think I’ll get it regardless, as long as it’s reasonably priced, but jeez read a bit about the story and am very intrigued
This story is heartwarming.
@somnambulance the original mod was only about 8 hours but remember we're talking about a player-made quest mod; it's a bit unrealistic to expect it should be the length of Skyrim(!). The quality was amazing though and they say they've expanded the dialogue and ending options for this full release.
This looks great.
@MattWithoutFear 8 hours doesn’t bother me, honestly. If anything, I was sort of hoping you’d say something along the lines of 8 hours because that’s about all I’ve got the time for these days. I tend to purchase a game monthly though and this looks like a fantastic choice for next month. As long as it’s not $60 or $70, I may jump on this.
@somnambulance yeah $45/£30 would be the sweet spot for me.
Coming to game pass too, and can be finished in an hour :/
