Hey there, tech lovers! Nuked here, bringing you some exciting gaming news with a fun twist.
Great news for RPG fans! The beloved game The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has just been remastered and released across all platforms today. This fresh edition is powered by Unreal Engine, but don’t worry—the original creator’s engine is still in charge of gameplay mechanics.
The remaster boasts stunning visual upgrades, like impressive lighting and character animations that breathe new life into the game. It keeps the classic charm but with a modern polish that’s hard to resist.
One cool feature is the overhauled leveling system, blending elements from Oblivion and Skyrim. Fans have long debated the original’s leveling quirks, so this update is likely to make many happier gamers. While some aspects, like NPC dialogue persuasion, stay the same, they’re complemented by better graphics and refined character models, including detailed fur on Khajiit characters.
This project was a joint effort between Bethesda and Virtuos, a support studio known for remasters like Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection. Virtuos’s Paris team primarily developed this remaster, which is a significant upgrade over the original, but it’s still a remaster, not a full remake. Bethesda’s proprietary engine continues to handle gameplay, with some new tweaks from Virtuos.
If you’re itching to revisit this classic RPG, it’s available now for $50 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S — and it’s also included on Game Pass. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to the realm of Tamriel, this remaster promises to be a delightful revival of a gaming legend.
