The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered has arrived on Nintendo Switch 2, accompanied by an official launch trailer from Bethesda.
The remaster updates Bethesda Game Studios' 2006 Game of the Year edition for modern hardware, bringing the studio's classic open-world RPG to Nintendo's latest platform.
Background and context
Oblivion originally launched in 2006 for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and established Bethesda Game Studios as a leading developer of open-world role-playing games.
The remastered edition packages the base game with previously released story expansions—Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine—alongside additional downloadable content, and is now available for purchase at retail and via the Nintendo eShop.
