Microsoft and Bethesda announced that the often rumored Oblivion remaster is called The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. It is now available. We can play it on the PS5, Xbox Series X, or PC, and it is a part of Game Ultimate for those who subscribe to the service. The Shivering Isles, Knights of the Nine, and other DLC is included.

In addition to the standard version for $49.99, a $59.99 Deluxe Edition is available. That includes new quests to earn Akatosh and Mehrunes Dagon armors, weapons, and horse armor, a digital art book, and a soundtrack app.

We had some idea this remaster of Oblivion was on the way. It first came up when Microsoft acquired Bethesda. Various leaks suggested it was in development and might be a shadow drop for months. In addition to details like it using Unreal Engine 5, supposed images, and even early appearances from the site of Virtuos, the developer behind it. Some of Virtuos' other work includes Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition for the PS5 and PC, the Switch version of NieR: Automata, and the Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater.

Here’s the official showcase revealing the remaster. It went over new features and additions. For example, there are new animations, new textures, we can now sprint, and the Deluxe Edition added the aforementioned new quests and items.

The original Oblivion debuted back on the Xbox 360 and PC in March 2006. About a year later, a PS3 port and Game of the Year edition launched in 2007. The GOTY version included its two expansions.

Released first in 2006, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion was one the early RPGs for the Xbox 360. Dragon Ball Z and Kenka Bancho developer Spike quickly picked up the rights to it and brought the game to Japan in the summer of 2007.

This year, three years later, Bethesda is finally releasing The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Game of the Year Edition in Japan. This package, which contains the Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine expansion packs, was sent to Western stores in 2007.

What took so long? Probably, the publisher change. Spike handled Oblivion before Bethesda set up their Japan office. Once Bethesda opened their doors they started localizing Western games, including their own titles, for Japan. Bully, released in 2008, was their first game. After that they picked up 50 Cent Blood on the Sand and worked on Fallout 3. All of those games must have kept Bethesda Japan busy because they just announced The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Game of the Year Edition for April 22.
