Stop right there, criminal scum! Actually, don't. Start sprinting, because Bethesda just pulled off the ultimate sneak attack, shadow-dropping The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered today, April 22nd, 2025. That’s right, the legendary 2006 RPG that had us all glued to Cyrodiil (and chuckling at dodgy dialogue) is back, looking significantly less like a potato and ready for your current-gen console or PC.
Forget a simple resolution bump; this remaster, crafted with help from Virtuos, is a full-on glow-up using the power of Unreal Engine 5 for its visuals. Expect jaw-dropping landscapes rendered in crisp 4K, smooth 60fps gameplay, vastly improved lighting, animations, and textures that make the nearly 20-year-old world feel brand new. That famous moment emerging from the sewers? Prepare to be wowed all over again.
But it's not just eye candy. Bethesda has sprinkled in quality-of-life updates like a much-needed sprint button, refined combat mechanics (hello, dodge!), a tweaked levelling system blending Oblivion and Skyrim elements, and a modernised UI. Crucially, all the original DLC is baked in – including the epic Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine expansions, plus all those smaller add-ons (yes, even the infamous Horse Armour Pack, alongside new sets in the Deluxe Edition).
You can dive back into the Imperial City right now. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam and Windows Store). Even better for subscribers, it’s a Day One launch on Xbox Game Pass. The standard edition costs Rs. 4,162, with a Deluxe Edition available for Rs 4,995, offering extra quests and gear. Clear some space (it’s a hefty 120GB download!) and prepare to lose hundreds of hours all over again.
