Bethesda is making The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered official just days after the game leaked. Oblivion Remastered is a remaster of the nearly 20-year-old game, developed by Virtuous. Oblivion Remastered is shadow dropping today, and it’s already available on Steam and Xbox Series X / S right now.
“Oblivion was a real defining moment in the series and for how we make games as a studio,” says Todd Howard, studio head of Bethesda. The remastered version of Oblivion has overhauled graphics for modern hardware, and includes all add-ons.
Rumors of an Oblivion remaster originally appeared in 2023, thanks to documents in the FTC’s case against Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard acquisition. An unannounced Fallout 3 remaster and another game in the Dishonored franchise were also part of Microsoft’s documents.
