EntertainmentBlivion Remastered: Learn price and details of the surprise release of Bethesdaversion remastered from the fourth chapter of the franchise The Elder Scrolls was announced on Tuesday, 22, and is now available for writing

It’s time to return to Tamriel. After a whole week of speculation after a supposed leakage of concept arts and screen captures, the Game Developer Bethesda finally made the remastered version of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

Amid the details that emerged online, the company remained silent until this Monday, 21, when a photo IV in Roman numerals was shared along with a link to a live broadcast scheduled for Tuesday, 22.

After the initial suspense, now everything has been revealed. As shown in the video, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered It is a great technical reformulation for the 2006 -loved RPG and is now available to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series x | s and Windows PCbeing playable by anyone who signs Xbox Game Pass.

The live revelation video begins with the creative director of Bethesda, Todd Howardand the art director Matt Carofanodiscussing the franchise’s legacy – specifically pointing Oblivion as an important turnover for the company.

Most of the video shows several studio members reflecting on the impact of the game, accompanied by archive images of the original title development for about twenty years. “Every time we think of Oblivion is, ‘And if we can give everyone that moment again?’ Howard during live broadcast.

The remake is developed by Virtuousa company based in Singapore that is best known for working in multiplatform portability of games likeThe Oter Worlds (2019) and Horizon Forbidden West (2022), besides other major remakes as Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eaterwhich will be released soon. As the developers explained, the game is mainly a visual update, providing the classic a graphic reformulation that brings it to modern hardware patterns using Unreal Engine 5.

The gameplay had some changes, but according to the video, the game’s creators wanted to stay as close as possible to the original RPG sensation. The gameplay itself looks smoother and the user’s interface has been fully updated to increase the quality of life. The level system was also restructured to reflect a mixture of Oblivion and Skyrimthe fifth chapter of the franchise The Elder Scrolls. Now, for example, players can run, a small detail that will probably make a big difference in practice.

The remaster is considered the full version of the experience of Oblivion and includes all the content of the expansions as Shivering Isles of 2007, which is often considered one of the best content in the franchise.

When rumors about the remake first appeared on online forums and social networks, fans’ opinions were somewhat divided. Although Oblivion be a dear game of the golden age of Xbox 360many hardcore fans of the series The Elder Scrolls expressed their desire to see a modern remake from the second chapter (Daggerfall1996) or third (Morrowind2002) instead of a title that at least seems to have been released recently (as if it had not been 19 years!).

As with another large series of first person RPG in Bethesda, Fallout, The Elder Scrollsgrew exponentially in quality with each subsequent launch, with Oblivion Serving as a milestone in the popularity of the game, selling over 9.5 million copies (until 2015).

Skyrim From 2011 is undoubtedly the most successful of the series, surpassing its predecessors with an estimated 60 million copies sold since the release. The game had the advantage of coming well during the initial proliferation of social networks, generating multiple memes that broke the barriers of popular consciousness, and has been carried for virtually all game platforms available in the last decade. Nevertheless, many old fans still consider Morrowind like the height of the franchise.

Thus, while many can be disappointed by Oblivion be the first in line for a complete remaster, there is still hope that, if Oblivion Remastered become a success, the Bethesda follow with modern versions of its oldest portfolio of Elder Scrolls. Outside the remakes, there was only a new traditional entry for a player in The Elder Scrolls since Skyrim; The Elder Scrolls Online Introduced a multiplayer approach as a live franchise service in 2014. A sixth title of the main series was announced in 2018, without virtually no additional update since then. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered It is now available now at PlayStation 5, Xbox Series x | s and Windows PC. The default version costs $ 264, 95, while the deluxe version can be purchased for $ 319.95.
