Final Blurb
Oblivion Remastered keeps the heart of the original but fixes a lot of what made you rage back in the day. Sprinting alone is enough to make this the definitive way to revisit Cyrodiil. So yes, it’s still Oblivion—but now it’s Oblivion that actually listens to modern players.
Now, go close some Oblivion gates—with style this time.
