The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is real, and it’s available right now on all major platforms.
As had been all but confirmed since a 2023 leak, a from-the-ground-up remake of Bethesda’s seminal RPG has been co-developed by Bethesda and Virtuos Studios. The game has been rebuilt entirely in Unreal Engine 5, with dynamic, real-time lighting, and character models and other assets remade from scratch. Third-person animations have been completely reworked to look less awkward than they did 20 years ago, and the environments feel more alive as insects, running water, and other little details add vibrancy to the places players visit. Based on the game’s showcase, it all comes together to give the world of Cyrodiil a fresh, near-photorealistic look.
