The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is now available

The day has finally arrived – the official reveal trailer for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has released, better yet, the game is available right now on PC, PS5 and Xbox. 

In a behind-the-scenes development video, Todd Howard reflected on Oblivion's 20-year history and the game's position as a defining point in the franchise. The new version aims to keep some of the original's “old charm” intact, according to Todd. The game has a completely fresh look though, with Unreal Engine 5 graphics. The reveal includes comparison footage between the original 2006 game and the new version.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered will include the story expansions Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine, delivering the complete experience from beginning to end. The team at Virtuos describes the remaster as a love-letter to the original and based on the gameplay footage shown, it does look like an impressive upgrade.

Aside from the graphical upgrades, animations have been updated, the UI and UX have been overhauled, combat has received new tweaks and VFX upgrades and some new lines of dialogue have been recorded to aid in differentiating all of the races present in Oblivion.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is available for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S now. It is also available via Game Pass.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
