The Oblivion remake to require 121GB storage

By all accounts, today is the day that The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered will be officially announced to the world. We've already seen leaked trailer screenshots, as well as references to the game on Bethesda's own website. Now, a little bit of digging in the Steam back-end has revealed a massive 120GB file size. 

According to dataminer XOX, who is primarily known for leaking Marvel Rivals content, installation details on the Oblivion remaster can now be found on the backend of Steam, revealing a 120.94GB total install size for the game.

This is a massive increase over the original game, which took up less than 5GB of storage space. The original Oblivion Game of the Year Edition requires just 4.6GB of storage space, a figure that includes the game's expansion and other DLCs.

Of course, this is a modern day remake of the game, not just a remaster as the game's official title implies. All of the in-game assets have been reworked, as well as the game world, giving it a complete makeover. Previous reports have also claimed that the game's combat system has been changed.

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.
