Bethesda officially reveals Oblivion Remastered, available today | PS5. 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 Virtuos. Oblivion Remastered is shadow dropping today, and it’s available on Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X / S right now for $49.99, or as part of Xbox Game Pass.

“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 the Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles expansions.

While the naming suggests this is a remaster of the original game, developer Virtuos has actually fully remade the title in Unreal Engine 5. Virtuos has produced several comparisons between the game’s original 2006 release to Oblivion Remastered, and the differences are huge. Every single asset in the game was remade and created from scratch, and the game has a lot more realistic shadows.

There’s even a big improvement to the lip sync parts of the game, thanks to the latest technologies in Unreal Engine 5. Gameplay has also been modernized, with audio, UI, and leveling systems all updated. The new leveling system is “the best of both worlds” of Skyrim and Oblivion, and there have also been modifications to encumbrance, non-combat perks, and other mechanics.

Bethesda and Virtuos have even modernized and updated the third-person view in Oblivion and added sprinting to the game. There are improved UI for systems like Persuasion and Clairvoyance, as well as HUD, menu, and map reworks and improved enemy scaling. All characters have updated animations as a result of these big changes.

“We’ve modernized a lot, but it’s still the same incredible adventure and the same carefully crafted world,” says Tom Mustaine, Bethesda’s external projects and studio director, during a reveal stream.

Bethesda is also releasing The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Deluxe Edition, which includes bonus quests, unique armor, weapon, and horse armor sets, a digital artbook, and the official soundtrack.

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.
