First Released in 2006
Originally developed by Bethesda Game Studios and co-published by Bethesda Softworks and 2K Games, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion was initially slated to be an Xbox 360 launch title in late 2005. However, due to development delays, the Xbox 360 and PC versions were released in March 2006. The mobile version, developed by Superscape and published by Vir2L Studios, followed in May 2006. The PlayStation 3 version hit North American stores in March 2007, with a European release in April 2007. Plans for a PSP version were ultimately scrapped. Additionally, several bundled editions were released, pairing Oblivion with other popular titles like Fallout 3 and BioShock.
Last week, leaked images surfaced online, allegedly from developer Virtuos’ website. These images showcased promotional art and comparisons between the original Oblivion and its remastered version. The leaks suggest that the remastered game will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S (including Game Pass), and PC. There are also whispers about a Deluxe Edition that might include bonus weapons and a horse armor DLC pack, but these remain unconfirmed by Bethesda. Fans should stay tuned to the upcoming livestream for the official reveal of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered.
