Developed by Bethesda Game Studios and co-published by Bethesda Softworks and 2K Games, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion originally aimed to be a launch title for the Xbox 360 in late 2005. However, due to unforeseen development delays, the Xbox 360 and PC versions hit the market in March 2006.
The mobile version, crafted by Superscape and published by Vir2L Studios, followed in May 2006. The PlayStation 3 version was released in North America in March 2007, with Europe following suit in April 2007. Plans for a PSP version were unfortunately scrapped. Additionally, Oblivion saw multiple bundled releases with titles like Fallout 3 and BioShock.
Last week, images allegedly leaked from developer Virtuos’ website stirred excitement among fans. These images showcased promotional art and comparisons between the original game and the forthcoming remastered version. Reports suggest that The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S (with Game Pass availability), and PC.
Rumors have also surfaced about a Deluxe Edition, potentially featuring bonus weapons and the iconic horse armor DLC pack.
