The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Looks Gorgeous, and It’s Out Now

Today, following a series of increasingly intense rumors and leaks, Bethesda has finally unveiled The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. Bethesda’s Todd Howard explained what the original game meant when it launched in 2006 and then introduced a series of developers who discussed the improvements of the new version, which are rather extensive.

The game’s visuals runs on the latest version of Unreal Engine 5, which gives it a massively improved look over the original, but the underlying logic still runs on the Gamebryo engine. However, there have been improvements in several areas:

• HUD, menu, and map reworks
• Improved UI for systems like Persuasion, Clairvoyance, and more
• Modifications to levelling, encumbrance, non-combat perks, and other mechanics
• Improved enemy scaling
• Enhanced accessibility features
• Additional autosaves
• Revised first-person and third-person camera
• Improved combat feedback and controller support

To top it all off came the confirmation that, as rumored, the game is available now on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X. It’s also on Game Pass, as you’d expect from a Bethesda game. If you’re not a subscriber, you can purchase the regular edition for $49.99 or the Deluxe Edition for $59.99, which comes with some new content, specifically new quests for unique Akatosh and Mehrunes Dagon armors, weapons, and horse armor sets, as well as the following DLCs:

• Fighter’s Stronghold expansion
• Spell Tome Treasures, Vile Lair
• Mehrune’s Razor
• The Thieves Den
• Wizard’s Tower
• Orrery
• Horse Pack Armor

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Deluxe Edition also comes with the two big original expansions, Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles, both of which are quite large (especially the latter). Last but not least, you can find the official PC system requirements below. The game’s size is around 120GB, again confirming the earlier leak.
