Originally crafted by Bethesda Game Studios and co-published by Bethesda Softworks and 2K Games, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion first hit the shelves in March 2006 for Xbox 360 and PC, following some development delays from its intended launch as an Xbox 360 exclusive in late 2005.
The mobile adaptation, developed by Superscape and published by Vir2L Studios, followed in May 2006. The PlayStation 3 version was released in North America in March 2007 and in Europe a month later in April 2007. Plans for a PSP version were scrapped, but fans saw various bundled editions, including pairings with titles like Fallout 3 and BioShock.
Recent leaks from developer Virtuos’ website have stirred excitement, showcasing promotional art and comparisons between the original and remastered versions of Oblivion. The remaster is slated for release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S (with inclusion in Game Pass), and PC.
Rumors are swirling about a possible Deluxe Edition, potentially featuring bonus weapons and a horse armor DLC pack, though Bethesda has yet to confirm these details. Stay tuned to Bethesda’s livestream for the full scoop on The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered.
