The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered review - remaster of the year

Bethesda and Virtuos launched a remastered edition of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion on April 22, 2025, for PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5.

Oblivion Remastered features a complete graphical overhaul using Unreal Engine 5, refined gameplay, preserved original voice acting, added beards, and includes all expansions.
The game sold nearly 10 million copies originally, and despite Skyrim selling 40 million, Oblivion remains a beloved classic with an 8/10 review score upon remaster release.
The remaster revitalizes Oblivion's exploration and storytelling for modern audiences while preserving its old-school mechanics and distinctive quirks, appealing primarily to series fans.
