The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered was one in all 2025’s largest hits after a sudden shadow drop, particularly in america, which is encouraging information should you (like me) are nonetheless ready for Fallout 3 and New Vegas refreshes. Earlier than that occurs, although, there is a Swap 2 port of the huge Cyrodiil-set RPG within the works, and it now has a launch date.
First revealed in early February throughout a Nintendo Direct, Oblivion Remastered for Swap 2 promised a completely featured model that immediately sounded extra bold than the Skyrim and Fallout 4 ports because of the involvement of Unreal Engine 5. It should be famous that, after a few main patches, developer Virtuos seems to have given up on fixing the sport’s deeper efficiency points, so the existence of such a translation to far much less highly effective {hardware} is intriguing to say the least.

As revealed by the Adoring Fan-centric trailer above, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered will conquer Swap 2 on eleventh August, and pre-orders are at present open through the Nintendo eShop at £49.99 (Normal model) and £59.99 (Deluxe version). As a reminder, the Deluxe version has distinctive new quests with additional armour units and weapons on high of the bottom sport and its unique enlargement packs.
Even higher, it has been confirmed the bodily launch can have the total sport on a cartridge. No code in a field – just like the Skyrim and Fallout 4 conversions – this time round, and no game-key card. Perhaps it was on-line complaints that pushed Xbox and Bethesda to lastly ship on that entrance, or perhaps it was the plan all alongside for some unknown cause.
This is the way it appears on Swap 2.
Surprisingly, the press launch additionally confirms the decision and efficiency targets for what needs to be one of the crucial demanding Swap 2 ports thus far: 900p at 30 frames per second on handheld and 1080p at 30 FPS docked. DLSS upscaling assist is confirmed, too. After Could’s Indiana Jones and the Nice Circle port, I am extra optimistic about this one’s probabilities even when the newly shared screenshots look fairly comfortable.
One other (small) shock is that Oblivion Remastered could be the most full Bethesda Swap 2 port thus far with regards to management choices, with movement controls, contact display assist, and mouse mode all confirmed. That is an excellent signal, even when I stay apprehensive in regards to the presentation and efficiency. That will not forestall me from rolling a brand new character although.
