Hold onto your Daedric daggers, folks — The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered just dropped, and it’s already melting gamer brains across the globe. Bethesda teamed up with the remaster wizards at Virtuos to give the 2006 classic a glow-up that’s so fresh, it’s practically glowing with magicka.
This isn’t just a slap of new paint — it’s a full-blown fantasy facelift. We’re talkin’ Unreal Engine 5, ray tracing, high-res everything, and smoother animations than a Khajiit doing ballet. Oh, and yes, they finally fixed that janky third-person camera. Praise the Nine!
Need more reasons to freak out?
The game’s got both expansions (Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine) baked in, and a brand-new Deluxe Edition if you feel like flexing — complete with exclusive gear, digital artbook, and that epic soundtrack that STILL slaps harder than a troll on skooma.
Voice lines? Sharper. UI? Sleeker. You can even sprint now — yeah, actual sprinting. Welcome to 2025, Cyrodiil.
And let’s talk numbers: Over 180,000 players hit Steam on day one. That’s not just a revival — that’s a resurrection, with dragon shouts.
Steam Deck? Verified. File size? A chunky 119 GB (R.I.P. your SSD). Price? $49.99, or free if you’re chillin’ with Xbox Game Pass. You literally have no excuse not to dive back into one of the weirdest, wildest, most meme-worthy RPGs of all time.
From Sheogorath’s cheese rants to guards yelling, “STOP! YOU VIOLATED THE LAW!” — it’s all back, baby. And it’s never looked better.
So grab your sword, kiss your productivity goodbye, and prepare to get lost in Cyrodiil all over again. The gates of Oblivion are open, and this time, it’s in 4K.
