Deluxe Edition of Oblivion Remastered Offers Unique Quests

The Deluxe Edition of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, priced at $59.99, introduces fresh quests specific to this version. This much-anticipated release was finally unveiled after being shrouded in mystery following previous leaks. Virtuos Studio took the reins on development, utilizing the power of Unreal Engine 5 to bring remarkable visual improvements while honoring the essence of the original 2006 game.

In a surprise move, Oblivion Remastered became available without prior announcement for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X. Gamers will find it convenient that the game is also accessible via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, thanks to Microsoft’s ownership of Bethesda. The base game, available for $49.99, comes packed with the original game content and the substantial Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine expansions. Yet, for those craving a bit more, an upgrade offers exclusive goodies.

The $59.99 Deluxe Edition not only provides access to the core game but also unlocks exclusive quests where players can acquire Akatosh and Mehrunes Dagon-themed armors, weapons, and horse armor sets. Along with these, the edition includes a Digital Artbook and a Soundtrack App. For players on Game Pass Ultimate or those who already possess the base game, a Deluxe Edition Upgrade is offered at $9.99.

Fans might feel a bit let down by the exclusivity of certain quests to the Deluxe Edition, but the base game itself is no slouch in terms of content. Players can immerse themselves in a sprawling open world brimming with opportunities, whether it’s joining diverse guilds with their detailed quests or diving into the engaging main storyline. With the DLC expansions adding even more depth, Oblivion Remastered promises a lengthy and fulfilling gaming experience, Deluxe Edition or no.

The buzz surrounding this release suggests a wave of returning and new players, raising the game’s potential to influence future decisions by Bethesda. Strong sales might inspire similar treatment for other beloved titles, with rumors of a Fallout 3 remaster or remake circulating, yet awaiting confirmation. Should the shadow drop tactic prove successful, it might just set the stage for future launches, possibly affecting the rollout plans for Fallout 3.
