The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

An American action role-playing video game developed by Virtuos and Bethesda Game Studios, published by Bethesda Softworks on April 22, 2025, for Windows, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. It is a remaster of the original 2006 game, featuring a complete graphical overhaul using Unreal Engine 5 while retaining the Gamebryo engine for physics and combat systems. Visual enhancements include updated textures, models, ray-traced lighting, and reworked character animations. Gameplay has been modernized with the addition of sprinting, an overhauled user interface, a revised leveling system combining elements from Skyrim and the original Oblivion, improved persuasion and clairvoyance systems, and an updated third-person camera. NPC artificial intelligence has been enhanced, and the audio experience includes re-recorded ambient sounds and partially updated voice acting. The remaster includes the Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles expansions. The narrative is set in the province of Cyrodiil, where the player, as the Hero of Kvatch, becomes entangled in a conflict with Daedric forces following the assassination of Emperor Uriel Septim VII. The game received positive reviews from critics and reached over 4 million players within its first week of release.
