First Released in 2006
Originally developed by Bethesda Game Studios and co-published by Bethesda Softworks and 2K Games, Oblivion was initially slated to launch alongside the Xbox 360 in late 2005. However, due to unforeseen development delays, the Xbox 360 and PC versions saw their release in March 2006.
A mobile iteration, crafted by Superscape and published by Vir2L Studios, hit the market in May 2006. The PlayStation 3 version followed suit, launching in North America in March 2007 and in Europe the subsequent month. Plans for a PSP version were shelved, but Oblivion did see various bundled releases, often paired with titles like Fallout 3 and BioShock.
Recent leaks from developer Virtuos’ website have stirred excitement, featuring promotional art and side-by-side comparisons of the original and remastered versions of Oblivion. These leaks suggest the remastered game will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S (with Game Pass support), and PC.
Rumors also hint at a Deluxe Edition, potentially including bonus weapons and a horse armor DLC pack. While these remain unconfirmed, fans eagerly await Bethesda’s official livestream for the full scoop on The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered.
