Bethesda is making The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered official just days after the game leaked. Oblivion Remastered is a remaster of the nearly 20-year-old game, developed by Virtuous. Oblivion Remastered is shadow dropping today, and it’s already available on Steam and Xbox Series X / S right now.

“Oblivion was a real defining moment in the series and for how we make games as a studio,” says Todd Howard, studio head of Bethesda. The remastered version of Oblivion has overhauled graphics for modern hardware, and includes all add-ons.

While the naming suggests this is a remaster of the original game, developer has actually fully remade the title in Unreal Engine 5. Virtuous has produced several comparisons between the game’s original 2006 release to Oblivion Remastered, and the differences are big. Every single asset in the game was remade and created from scratch, and the game has a lot more realistic shadows.

Rumors of an Oblivion remaster originally appeared in 2023, thanks to documents in the FTC’s case against Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard acquisition. An unannounced Fallout 3 remaster and another game in the Dishonored franchise were also part of Microsoft’s documents.
