About

Almost two decades after The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion revolutionized role-playing games, a new adventure begins. This beautifully remastered version features stunning 4K graphics at a smooth 60 frames per second, bringing the immersive world of Cyrodiil to both longtime fans and new players.

As darkness descends, a hero will emerge from the ruins of a once-great empire. With the opening of the gates, war has begun. The only hope for the world against Mehrunes Dagon and the invading demons of Oblivion lies in finding the last descendant of the Septim family and placing them on the throne.

Players who first enjoyed The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion when it launched in 2006 will be able to revisit Cyrodiil with beautifully updated graphics and modern gameplay improvements in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. The remastered version includes the popular expansions Knights of the Nine and The Shivering Isles, as well as all previously released downloadable content like “Fighter’s Stronghold,” “Spell Tome Treasures,” and more – including the infamous “Horse Armor Pack.”

Players who purchase the Deluxe Edition will receive everything mentioned previously, along with unique armor and weapon sets inspired by Mehrunes Dagon and Akatosh, plus the official digital artbook and soundtrack.
