Bethesda Softworks has officially confirmed that The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is set to arrive on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026.
This highly anticipated remaster of the beloved RPG classic brings the adventure to Nintendo's next-generation hardware, allowing a new audience to explore the expansive province of Cyrodiil with updated visuals and features. Originally released in 2006, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion became an instant genre-defining hit thanks to its open-world design, deep narrative, and innovative gameplay mechanics.
The remastered edition for Switch 2 will feature enhanced graphics and performance improvements, delivering a visually refreshed experience while staying true to the gameplay that cemented its legacy in video game history. Bethesda's announcement confirms that the remaster includes the full base game as well as both major expansions: Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles.
These expansions introduced new storylines, quests, items, and regions, significantly enriching the original journey through Cyrodiil.
The Knights of the Nine expansion focuses on a holy crusade, while Shivering Isles transports players to a surreal realm ruled by the Daedric Prince Sheogorath. In a statement released by Bethesda, the publisher expressed excitement at bringing one of their "most celebrated fantasy RPGs to Nintendo Switch 2," emphasizing that this new release will allow both longtime fans and newcomers "to experience The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion as never before." While the exact release window is set for 2026, further details regarding features exclusive to the Switch 2 and additional updates will be shared closer to launch via official channels such as Nintendo Direct and Bethesda communications. The Nintendo Switch 2, the anticipated successor to the widely popular Switch, is expected to deliver improved hardware performance and upgraded display technology, making it an ideal platform for enhanced remasters of classic games.
Bringing The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered to the system continues a growing trend of major third-party support on Nintendo hardware, alongside significant listings on the Nintendo eShop in recent years. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered marks another achievement for Bethesda, whose legacy of delivering genre-defining RPG experiences has spanned multiple hardware generations.
With the remaster officially announced for Nintendo Switch 2, fans can look forward to revisiting or discovering the sprawling landscapes, compelling quests, and memorable characters of Cyrodiil in 2026.
