First Released in 2006
Originally crafted by Bethesda Game Studios and co-published by Bethesda Softworks and 2K Games, Oblivion was initially slated as a launch title for the Xbox 360 in late 2005. However, development delays pushed its release to March 2006 for both Xbox 360 and PC platforms.
The mobile adaptation, developed by Superscape and published by Vir2L Studios, hit the market in May 2006. The PlayStation 3 version followed in March 2007 in North America, with a European release in April of the same year. Plans for a PSP version were scrapped, but Oblivion saw numerous bundled releases, including pairings with titles like Fallout 3 and BioShock.
Recent leaks from developer Virtuos’ website have fueled excitement with images comparing the original game to the remastered version. These leaks suggest that The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S (with inclusion in Game Pass), and PC. Rumors also hint at a Deluxe Edition featuring bonus weapons and a horse armor DLC pack, though Bethesda has yet to confirm these details.
