The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remaster

Remaster or remake? The stealth drop of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is the current gaming buzz.

A Mandela Effect for video games is a thing, but there's no doubt that this remaster (and it is a remaster) will bring you back to th...

The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered is everything a fan could want and an excellent primer on what makes the series so magical.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is a love letter to one of the most charmingly chaotic RPGs ever made. It’s not perfect and it doesn’t try to be.

In 2006, Bethesda Studios released The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, an ambitious and widely adored first-person fantasy RPG that further cemented the company as a beloved Western RPG developer.
