During today's highly anticipated Nintendo Direct presentation, Bethesda delighted fans by officially unveiling The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.
Scheduled for release in 2026, this announcement marks a significant moment for both The Elder Scrolls franchise and Nintendo’s next-generation hardware.
The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, originally launched in 2006, remains a seminal title in the RPG genre.
Produced by developer Bethesda, Oblivion set new standards for open-world role-playing with its expansive environments, innovative quest design, and richly detailed lore.
The remastered edition promises to modernize the classic experience, bringing enhanced graphics, updated gameplay mechanics, and full support for the advancements provided by Nintendo Switch 2 hardware. Bethesda, known for its legacy with the Elder Scrolls series, shared that revisiting Oblivion for the Nintendo Switch 2 allows both longtime fans and newcomers to experience the game in a new light.
In a statement paraphrased for clarity, Bethesda highlighted: “We are excited to bring a modernized version of Oblivion to the Nintendo Switch 2, making this acclaimed adventure accessible to a broader audience with enhanced performance and visuals.” The move to bring Oblivion Remastered to Nintendo Switch 2 underscores Bethesda's ongoing commitment to the Nintendo platform.
The publisher previously achieved significant success with the Nintendo Switch port of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, which has sold millions of copies since its launch in 2017.
Legacy support for older and new games on Nintendo consoles has become an increasingly prominent focus, especially as more third-party developers embrace Nintendo’s hardware. The Nintendo Switch 2, which has garnered widespread anticipation within the gaming community, is designed to deliver greater processing power, improved graphical fidelity, and enhanced portability compared to its predecessor.
By leveraging these technical improvements, Oblivion Remastered aims to deliver high-resolution visuals and smoother gameplay, all while maintaining the versatility and convenience unique to Nintendo’s hybrid platform. Currently, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered is slated for a 2026 release on Nintendo Switch 2.
Fans can look forward to additional details in future Nintendo Direct presentations and further announcements from Bethesda.
The game will take advantage of the Nintendo eShop for digital distribution, with more information about physical editions, pricing, and special features expected closer to launch.
Stay tuned as more details emerge about The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered and its role in shaping the Nintendo Switch 2’s highly-anticipated software library.
