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 set to launch as an Xbox 360 title in late 2005. However, due to development delays, the game made its debut on both Xbox 360 and PC in March 2006. A mobile version followed in May 2006, courtesy of Superscape and Vir2L Studios. The PlayStation 3 version hit North America in March 2007 and Europe in April 2007. Plans for a PSP version were scrapped, but multiple bundled releases were offered, pairing Oblivion with other iconic titles like Fallout 3 and BioShock.
Recent leaks from developer Virtuos’ website showcased what appears to be promotional art and comparison images between the original and the upcoming remastered version of Oblivion. These leaks suggest that the remastered game will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S (with Game Pass support), and PC. There's also buzz about a Deluxe Edition that might include bonus weapons and a horse armor DLC pack, though these details remain unconfirmed by Bethesda. Fans are encouraged to tune into the upcoming livestream for the official reveal of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered to get all the latest updates and confirmations.
