Release Date: April 22, 2025
A gretly refreshed version of the popular RPG, originally released by Bethesda Softworks back in 2005. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered offers much better graphics and modernized gameplay mechanics, including a sprint option, a modified UI, an improved TPP camera and more user friendly leveling system. The remaster contains the base game and all expansions.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is a thoroughly refreshed version of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, an open-world RPG game originally released in 2006 (on PC and Xbox 360, a year later also on PS3), which is the fourth main installment of the cult series. The remaster is the result of a collaboration between Bethesda Game Studios and Virtuos.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered was made available on the PC Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass subscription services at the time of its release.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered introduces a number of changes related to gameplay.
First and foremost, the developers focused on the mechanics of leveling up and significantly simplified it. The system based on developing the main skills chosen at the beginning of the adventure has been preserved, but it no longer directly affects the increase of attributes. Instead, each time we level up, we receive a certain number of points that we can assign to strength, intelligence, willpower, dexterity, speed, endurance, personality, or luck.
Additionally, the interface was refreshed, making the character card easier to check. For example, progress bars have been introduced, which allow us to continuously track the development of skills while using them.
In addition to this, our character can not only walk or run, but has also been equipped with the ability to sprint, which facilitates exploration.
In The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, the third-person camera (TPP) has also been modernized. It does not show the protagonist in the center of the screen, but moves over their shoulder. Moreover, our character now moves independently of the direction the camera is facing.
The user interface has also been adapted to modern standards. Its layout reminiscent of the UI from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and The Elder Scrolls Online. Improvements were made to switching between inventory, statistics, map and journal tabs. The mini-game related to using persuasion skills during dialogues was also modernized.
Unlike the original that used the Creation Engine, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered operates based on Unreal Engine 5 technology. This resulted in a thorough refreshment of the graphic design. Many elements have improved in quality - from textures and 3D models, through dynamic lighting, to weather effects.
Completely new animations were also added. Thanks to this, both walking, running, sneaking, jumping or swimming, as well as waving a weapon, blocking and shooting a bow (the latter has also been improved) look better. The new animations accompanying hitting opponents are also a significant change.
The developers made character faces better. They have become more realistic and better reflect the individual characteristics of each race. The finishing touch to all of this are the new voices of selected NPCs, as well as sounds accompanying combat and world exploration that were not present in the original.
Unlike the original, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered does not offer official support for mods.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, in addition to the basic version of the game, includes two story expansions, namely Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles, as well as all minor add-ons.
The developers of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered did not change the story plot or the core gameplay compared to the original. During the game, we enter a fantasy world, specifically - the capital province of the Tamriel Empire, namely Cyrodiil. After the death of the ruler at the hands of assassins, the land struggles with anarchy. To make matters worse, the gates to the titular Oblivion open, from which demonic forces pour out. Our task is to avert the crisis.
The game allows us to create our own character, in whose skin we explore the open world. In addition to the main quests, there are numerous side missions to complete, which we perform both for ordinary neutral characters and for a number of guilds. We engage in dynamic skirmishes with opponents (fighting in close combat, at a distance or using magic), we gather increasingly better equipment and advance to the next levels.

Game Ratings for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Video Game.
PPE.pl: 6 / 10 by Maciej Zabłocki
The score refers only to the quality of the remaster and technical condition. Oblivion itself is still an outstanding RPG, but the PS5 version needs a lot of patches to start working properly. Well, and it's a shame that there are basically no differences between the edition for the regular PS5 and the PS5 Pro. The quality mode is useless, and the game dumping to the main menu is some kind of unpleasant joke. I will point out, however, that when everything works well, the game plays wonderfully, and the quality of the visuals can sometimes literally “blow you out of your slippers.”
Smash Jump: 9 / 10 by Ashton Lovell
Oblivion Remastered is everything I wanted it to be. It is an example all future remasters should strive toward. It preserves the core of what makes Oblivion special in the eyes of its long-time fans while upgrading and modernizing it just enough so that it feels fresh and in-line with modern sensibilities.
Checkpoint Gaming: 7 / 10 by Charlie Kelly
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is still a good game, like the original was all those years ago. The excitement of wandering the open world of Cyrodil is still there, getting into shenanigans with goblins in caves, doing away with the undead coming through Oblivion Gates, and getting into thievery and tomfoolery across the great unknown. There are meaningful changes to how skills work and how to read the world, making it the cleanest and smoothest run through Bethesda's great RPG yet. However, it is bogged down by the change in art style, where fidelity disappointingly removes any colour or substance that was once found. A blemish on one of the greats. Much like an old car that's been plodding along a little too long, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered mostly still runs, and a new coat of paint helps some, but don't be surprised by the sensation of feeling like things are going to fall apart at any moment.
