The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is a remastered version of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion released in April 2025 for PC (Steam and GamePass), Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5. Remastered is 64-bit and uses Unreal Engine 5 to render graphics and UI, with a modified version of the original game's Gamebryo engine handling core gameplay systems. The videogame's visuals have been completely remade with high-resolution models and textures, a new lighting system, visual effects, and redesigned character models. Mechanical refinements have been made to the videogame's combat and levelling systems, as well as physics and locomotion. The videogame features new voice acting mixed in with the original voiceovers to provide greater variety in spoken dialogue. For the first time, the game's Achievements can be earned on PC and PlayStation

Oblivion Remastered includes the base game and all ten of its original official downloads. It was both announced and released during a video presentation on April 22, 2025.

Background[edit]

Production first began in 2021.[2] As part of FTC v. Microsoft, internal Bethesda documents were inadvertently made public which confirmed that an Oblivion remaster was planned for release in 2022 prior to the acquisition of ZeniMax by Microsoft.[3] Rumors of a potential remaster or remake being worked on by Virtuos Games first appeared online in July 2023.[4]

On April 15, 2025, several in-game images, promotional art, and other materials were leaked from the Virtuos website, accessed through a WordPress upload repository.[1] These images display several recognizable locations such as the view of Vilverin from the Imperial City Prison Sewer, the bridge leading to Castle Skingrad, and the Imperial City seen from afar.[5] References to an Oblivion remaster were also found in the source code of the Bethesda.net homepage, which pointed to a then-unused URL for the game,[6] and several listings in various languages for the remaster were found online, hosted on Virtuos' website.[7]

Release[edit]

On April 21, the Bethesda accounts announced a live event for the remaster titled "All will be revealed...." set to be held on April 22, 2025 at 11am EST. This stream officially revealed the remaster, which launched on the same day on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.[8][9]
