A Beloved Classic

Complete freedom of exploration and huge, immersive worlds packed with rich, compelling stories. Companions and fully voiced NPCs with their own lives and routines. Interactable clutter that tells a story and makes every environment feel alive. All these hallmarks of Bethesda Game Studios started with Oblivion.

In Oblivion, you embark on an epic journey across the vast landscape of Cyrodiil, battling Daedric forces, exploring ancient ruins and uncovering dark secrets. With his final breaths the emperor tasks you with a dangerous, world-saving mission: Close shut the jaws of Oblivion and stop the Daedric invasion from overtaking the land.

Stunning New Visuals

The Remaster uses Unreal Engine 5’s vast suite of tools to significantly enhance the visuals and performance. This means you'll experience stunning landscapes; more detailed character models and improved lip synching; and atmospheric effects that make the world of Cyrodiil feel more alive than ever.

Refined Gameplay & Quality-of-Life Improvements

If you played the original, you’re going to recognize everything you see. But the teams at Bethesda Game Studio and Virtuos knew that gamers of today have certain expectations when it comes to an open world role-playing game. Features like sprinting have been added, and combat has been given an upgrade with fully recreated animations and sound effects, visual effects, and hit reactions. The third-person perspective has been overhauled as well.

In addition to refining gameplay, there have been tons of quality-of-life improvements to continue adding a modernized touch to 2006’s Game of the Year. The leveling system has been redesigned, inspired by both Oblivion and Skyrim, to offer the best of both worlds. Visual updates to UI and UX reflect contemporary gaming standards and hardware. New dialogue was also recorded for this Remaster. Where before some races shared voices, now each race represented in the game sounds unique, adding to the immersion. And those are just three of the big QoL updates. There are dozens of others to help modernize and enhance your experience.
