Bethesda Surprise Launches The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Today, Available For Xbox/PS5/PC

The recent track record for Bethesda continues to shape fairly well for its 2025 prospects. Already this month, the firm launched the PlayStation 5 version for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Additionally, it is also emphasizing on plans for Starfield. Although still unknown, Bethesda has addressed that there are major plans for its newest RPG franchise.

Just this past week, word broke out via leaks online of a new title that has been tossed around through insider whispers – a remake for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Via Virtuos Games’ website, users uncovered new images for the unannounced ‘remastered’ title. And on Monday, Bethesda clarified an announcement for a certain title is to take place this Tuesday.

Now following its promised reveal, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is available now. Of course, the title will also be available on PlayStation 5 as well as Xbox Game Pass too. You can watch the launch trailer in the video below:

“Designed in co-operation with the remaster specialists at Virtuos, Oblivion Remastered keeps the core of the original game intact (and includes the Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles expansions), but drapes it in an incredible new visual style, powered by Unreal Engine 5. Alongside 4K resolution, 60 frames per second performance, all-new textures, lighting effects, and landscape improvements, the game also updates everything from character, spell, and weapon animations, to dynamic time of day and weather effects,” the game is described.

“I watch as a newly-built character loads into the wide open world of Cyrodiil (R.I.P. Emperor Septim) – they turn to see the landscape I know so well in new and improved form. Mist wreathes around the top of nearby mountains, seen again in distorted reflections on the wholly reworked water below. A sunrise cuts across the world, casting long shadows across gorgeous new foliage. Behind me, an even more imposing Imperial City stands proudly, blotting out the horizon behind it,” Xbox Wire Editor-in-Chief Joe Skrebels adds.
