Following the launch of “The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered,” Bethesda has expressed gratitude on social media platform X for the game’s achievement. In this post, Bethesda disclosed various details about the remastered version of Oblivion, clarifying that despite the significant modifications made compared to its 2006 release, they do not view it as a full-fledged remake.

Back in 2021, I jumped headfirst into the journey of bringing The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered to life. As a dedicated fan, I couldn’t wait to infuse fresh energy into a game that laid such an influential foundation for our subsequent titles. We didn’t set out to remake it, but rather to remaster it – keeping the spirit of the original alive while enhancing it with modern technology.

In addition to Virtuos, Bethesda also expressed gratitude for their collaboration on the remastered version of Oblivion. The work put into this project has been particularly extensive, with Bethesda admitting that it’s larger than any project they’ve tackled before. This is due to the inclusion of new artwork, animations, and special effects, among other enhancements.

Bethesda expressed gratitude for collaborating with an exceptional team and allies at Virtuos. Although they had collaborated in the past, this time they were tackling a project on an unprecedented scale. Every element of art, animation, visual effects, and the entire world were to be refined or remastered.

The business detailed modifications made to the gameplay mechanics of Oblivion, such as improved and evenly paced advancement resulting from the updated leveling system.

The design team made improvements so that playing feels more comfortable in your hands. The leveling process has been adjusted for a smoother progression and equilibrium. We examined every component and enhanced it where necessary. However, we aimed to preserve the essence of the game, keeping its retro charm intact.

The company expresses heartfelt gratitude for your continuous support on our games throughout the years. With this remastered version, we aspire to create an experience where anyone, stepping out of the Imperial sewer, feels as if they’re embarking on a brand-new journey.

Earlier this week saw the launch of “The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered” on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. The game can be purchased for $49.99 across all platforms, and it’s also accessible through both PC and Xbox Game Pass. This updated version offers enhanced graphics, animations, a redesigned user interface, improved enemy scaling, adjustments to systems such as non-combat perks and encumbrance, among other improvements.

For further information, you can find comprehensive details about the re-release of “Oblivion Remastered”. Meanwhile, it’s worth noting that Mike Ybarra, a former Blizzard president, expresses skepticism regarding the ability of “Oblivion Remastered” to surpass contemporary open-world RPGs such as Elden Ring by FromSoftware in aspects like combat, exploration, and world design. However, despite these reservations, the game has garnered significant success upon its release, reaching a peak of over 182,000 concurrent players on Steam.
