19 Years Later, a Pivotal Open World RPG Is Finally Getting Its Long-Rumored Remaster

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is undoubtedly one of the most important open world games ever made — the pivotal game inspired a decade of open world design, and lay the foundations for Skyrim. For years now, we’ve heard rumors of Oblivion getting a remake, and now we can definitively say, yes, that remaster is real. And it might be coming out sooner than you expect.

A host of screenshots were discovered on the website of Virtuos, a co-development studio that has worked as an external developer on a wide array of games — Age of Mythology: Retold, Dark Souls Remastered, NieR: Automata, Rise of the Ronin, and more.
