The highly anticipated relaunch of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered has caused a stir among video game fans, managing to position itself as one of the best-selling titles of the week after its surprise release. The classic installment from Bethesda, now revitalized with cutting-edge technology, demonstrates that great RPGs never go out of style.
Originally released in 2006, Oblivion established itself as a masterpiece of the genre. Now, with the support of Bethesda and Virtuos, the game returns in a remastered version that reaches new graphical and gameplay standards, capturing the attention of both old followers and new players.
Unreal Engine 5: the technological leap Oblivion needed
One of the main factors in the success of the relaunch is the implementation of Unreal Engine 5, an engine that allowed for a substantial visual improvement. Added to this is a progression system inspired by Skyrim, another gem of the saga, which provides a more dynamic and accessible experience.
In addition to the graphical improvements, Oblivion Remastered includes the content of the original expansions, optimized controls for current consoles, and updated gameplay that keeps the soul of the game but with modern standards.
Sales records and positive reviews
The public's reception was immediate: the game sold out in several digital stores and quickly ranked among the best sellers on Steam, surpassing heavyweights like Counter-Strike 2 and PUBG in the number of active players.
