Did you happen to give a round of applause? Or perhaps say a prayer? Maybe you even recalled to drink your Ovaltine? It seems likely, as Bethesda has unexpectedly released the remastered version of Oblivion on the very same day they announced it – exactly as some ancient prophecy had foretold.
It’s no secret that rumors about an Oblivion remaster have been circulating in the gaming world since a court document leaked in September 2023, hinting at its release during fiscal year 2022 – a timeframe that predates our access to it. As such, there was uncertainty as to whether it had been cancelled or if it was merely speculation, leaving us all guessing about its authenticity.
As a dedicated gamer, I’ve been eagerly awaiting any news about the upcoming game, but lately, whispers and supposed leaks have been swirling around, hinting at an impending announcement and release. These rumors and leaks have been recurring more frequently, creating a cacophony that’s driving us, the Silksong enthusiasts, to the edge of madness in our fervor for any tangible, reliable information.
Todd Howard, the cunning mastermind, had been holding back information until now. Instead of mere hints, we received a full disclosure: The Oblivion remaster is available, priced at $50 (£50), and it’s also accessible on Game Pass. The sneak peek during its unveiling has sparked my curiosity to delve deeper into the complete experience. It appears sleeker and more refined, almost giving off the vibe of a ‘remake’ rather than a ‘remaster.’ However, I’m most intrigued to discover if the renovation has preserved Oblivion’s eccentric essence intact. Bethesda and Virtuos claim it has, but I’ll only be convinced when I experience it myself.
Despite any praise you may offer for Morrowind, Oblivion stands out as Bethesda’s most humorous game ever released, arguably one of the funniest games in history. The unique blend of Bethesda’s aspirations with the technological constraints of 2006 resulted in a game that was consistently, brilliantly absurd—its humor is still potent enough to trend on social media almost two decades after its debut. If a conversation between characters doesn’t involve one of them perishing in lava, I would deem the remaster as a disappointment.
You can find the The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered on Steam.
