The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remasteredis a full remake of the 2006 original, with visuals updated from scratch and a host of other changes.

Crucially, all the DLC released for the original game is included in this $50 package, though a Deluxe Edition is also available for $59.99 (the Deluxe Edition comes with bonus quests, additional character skins, an artbook, and a soundtrack). It's also available on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

Rumors of an Oblivionremake have been around for a while now, but they started feeling a lot more urgent last week when legitimate-looking screenshots leaked off of a development studio's website. Journalist Jeff Grubb of Giant Bomb said on his GameBreaking News podcast last week that the game would shadow-drop this week, and he wound up being right.

This is just one more win for nostalgic millennials, I suppose.
