By Azura, by Azura, by Azura! Today's the day that a lot of people have been waiting for, with Bethesda's mysterious livestream set to kick off in just two hours. We've not got a lot to work on fr🔯om the stream itself, which is currently listed on YouTube as "All will be revealed...."

For anyone joining us fresh, some context: while rumors of an Oblivion remaster have been swirling for years, its existenꦇce was seemingly confirmed when screenshots of the project appeared to leak last week. The remaster is said to be in the hands💟 of developer Virtuos, and given the images wer꧃e sourced through Virtuos' own website, that's looking to be the case. Exciting!

We're still an hour and 20 minutes away from Bethesda's stream, so join me in re-reading our original 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Oblivion review from 2006. I suppose a "bar-raising masterpiece" would explain why we're still hangꦡing off its every move after 19 years?

I can't talk about Oblivion w🅠ithout sharing clips of it being Very Silly, and this one's an all-timer. I do hope the original game's inherent silliness survives its glossy makeover. Farewell... unless?

In just under an hour, we'll have the answer to our biggest question: will Oblivion's remaster be shadow-dropped - that is, launching immediately - or releasing further down the line? Rumors that have taken us this far suggest the former, but you never know until it's official.

I'm nosing through our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Oblivion main quest walkthrough and desperately trying to remember the last time I actually finished it, instead of getting side-tracked by the Dark Brotherho🐎od. It's, er, been a while. Anyway - how are you?

Been better. How about you? - YouTube

We're now just 20 minutes out from th♐e stream!꧋ As a reminder - don't worry if you can't watch it, as I'll be sharing live highlights right here.

The stream's just finished playing Auriel's Ascension, one of many gems to come from Oblivion's soundtrack. There's also been some ominous thundering, but we'll move past that. Grab your snacks, get a drink sorted, and get set🌟tled - 10 minutes to go!

Here we go! The stream's now live, and it's kicking right off into a trailer. Confirmation it's from Virtuous t𒀰here, too.

There we have it! That's The Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion Remastered officially, officially, announc𒀰ed. Let's sꦦee when it's coming out, shall we?

Todd Howard confirms Bethesda is working on "the sixth chapter" - yes, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Elder Scrolls 6 - but for now, it's all🔯 Oblivion. "We wa𝔍nt people to feel the way they did then," says Howard of the remaster.

We're getting a lot of talking heads from Bethesda here, with devs speaking from the heart about what Oblivion means to them. Lovely look at the game's leg𒉰acy from the inside, here!

We're now seeing original 2006 footage stacked up against the remaster, really hammering home just how phenomenal this looks. In truth, the screenshots we've seen didn't do the real thing justice - it looks even beဣtter i🔴n motion!

The remaꦯster aims to make Oblivion "more friendly" to modern hardware, which will be a relief to anyone who's sick of the original game crashing every time you tab in a♈nd out.

An important bit of confirmation, here - Oblivion's remaster will indeed be ꦦlaunching with all add-ons and expansions. Trip to the Shivering Isles, anyone?

Forꦜ those who don't have the stream on, this is how Oblivion looks in Unreal Engine 5.

Now there's confirmation that gameplay has been tweaked, from UI to audio. Levelling is now "the best of both worlds," leaning more into Skyrim, while combat has more animations and a weightier feel. Third person has also been "modernized" to have all the same features𓄧 you get from first-person.

All of Oblivion's "quirkier" dialogue remains - thank The Nine - but new lines ha💦ve been recorded as well, which will go a long way toward keeping some of the original game's oddness. 🌠Greetings!

We'll be able to sprint in the remaster, which is a lovely a🌃ddition. From first glance, it feels like there are smart additions, and we've got devs from both Bethesda and Virtuos talking about the careful approach they took to the remaster.

SURPRI🃏SE! The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered is out now, and it's on Xbox Series, Game Pass, Steam, and PS5. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some file space to clear...

We're now getting a deep dive gameplay stream, in which the wonderful Wes Johnson - that's the voi꧒ce of Sheogorath to name just one of his Bethesda characters - is seeing th𝕴e remaster for the first time. Lovely stuff.

If you happened to be one of those left wondering whether folks still cared about Oblivion, it's maybe worth noting that the remaster is 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:already the global topꦚ-selling game on Steam. That... was fast.

If you're looking to download The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered for yourself in order to see what's new or even check it out for the first time, be aware that it's something of a chunky boy🅰.

How chunky? At 125GB, it can fit roughly 27 of 2009's Oblivi🌊on GOTY edition inside of 💫it.

While the release of The Elder Scroll🐲s 4: Oblivion Remastered might be considered overall good news, there is a bit of bad news in the mix.

Despite the franchise's history of supporting mods, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Oblivion Remastered... doesn't. Sorry.

You know what? Say what you will, but Bethesda knows how to put together a trailer. The new official trailer for The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remast🧸ered is no different. Even if it is technically an older game, the trailer feels right at home in 2025.

But you don🌄't have to just tꦜake my word for it; you can see for yourself:

For anyone that's been concerned about what Oblivion Remastered might mean for the Skyblivion mod, there's good news: not only does it seem like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询༺:Bethesda isn't going to put a stop to t𒁏he project, but it e♔ven game the mod team copies of Oblivion Remastered.

Thanks, Todd.
