In today’s livestream announcement, Bethesda confirmed that the long-rumored The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Remastered is out now on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Yes, the horse armor is included (via the Deluxe Edition).
Yesterday, Bethesda announced the livestream after months of speculation, leaks, and reports about the remaster’s existence. While it didn’t go all out and confirm what was being teased, it was pretty easy to put two and two together and come up with Elder Scrolls IV. Check out the announcement below.

With a new Elder Scrolls some way off, it’s not a bad stopgap to return to The Elder Scrolls IV like this. Unlike its successor, Skyrim, there’s been no ports or remasters of Oblivion over the years, so it’ll feel a bit fresher to go back to Cyrodiil.
