About
Nearly 20 years after The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion shaped the RPG genre, it is time again to turn the tide of darkness. This handcrafted remaster in 4K resolution runs at 60 frames per second, and brings the wonderous world of Cyrodill to audiences both old and new.
In the shadow of evil, a hero will rise from the ashes of a fallen empire. The gates have been opened, and the battle has begun. Only one thing can save the world from Mehrunes Dagon and the demonic hordes of Oblivion. The true heir of the Septim line must be found and restored to the Imperial throne.
Players who set forth in 2006 into the original game will have an opportunity to explore Cyrodiil like never before with stunningly updated visuals and modernized game features in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. They’ll also be able to experience the Knights of the Nine and The Shivering Isles story expansions. Not only that, but the game’s previously released downloadable content: “Fighter’s Stronghold” expansion, “Spell Tome Treasures,” “Vile Lair,” “Mehrune’s Razor,” “The Thieves Den,” “Wizard’s Tower,” “Orrery,” and “Horse Armor Pack,” will also be accessible.
