Morrowind Rebirth 5.8 adds the vampiric Skyrim Ebony Blade

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Rebirth 5.8 update is here, and it brings with it the return of the terrifying Skyrim Ebony Blade

The sizeable new Skyrim's terrifying Ebony Blade.

While The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is over ten years old and looking decidedly long in the tooth, the third Morrowind Rebirth overhaul mod – which itself is ten years old.

The Vampire" due to the way it leeches health from foes. It's actually been in every mainline Elder Scrolls game apart from Morrowind, so it's cool that the Rebirth team is readdressing that.

Beyond that and a load of other weapons and armour additions, 5.8 adds "more variety" to the Imperial Guards, "more unique scroll inscriptions", a "grand" overhaul of the Shrine of Azura, and reworked areas like Ebonheart, Fort Pelagiad, and Wolverine Hall. There are new models, new icons, and "hundreds of UV fixes and improvements".

If you're bored of waiting on Skywind, still in pre-production Elder Scrolls VI, have a replay through Morrowind on its 20th anniversary with Rebirth installed. It's a whole new game.
