Notes

On Tuesday 22nd April one of gaming’s recent worst kept secrets was finally officially revealed, that being the “remaster” of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. During a 15 minute stream of a pre-recorded video it was revealed how much effort had gone into this release of the almost 20 year old classic, one which had been called for being given the remaster treatment following the “Special Edition” of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim back in 2016. Why this version of Oblivion has been released after 19 years instead of an even 20 years I don’t know, but it helps regenerate some more interest in the franchise whilst Bethesda continues to work on whatever will be the 6th entry, which was briefly mentioned during the video. Why did Bethesda call its Oblivion Remake a Remaster?
