The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remasteredis a full remake of the 2006 original, with visuals updated from scratch and a host of other changes. Combat has apparently been reworked with new hit feedback animations and audio effects, there's new voice acting to distinguish different races from one another, and the user interface and leveling systems have been reconsidered. 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.
