Given the immediate triumph of Oblivion Remastered, there’s no question that Bethesda will be considering similar ventures in the future — if they aren’t already underway.
Developer Virtuos has demonstrated it can be entrusted with such endeavors, leaving us curious about what lies ahead. After all, Bethesda boasts a treasured collection of RPGs worthy of the same treatment as Oblivion.
For us fans of PlayStation, this is crucial. Both Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas are still confined to the PS3, while The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind — Oblivion’s forerunner — never made its way to a Sony platform.
It certainly appears that the moment is ripe for these beloved classics to make a comeback, reminding us why they received such high acclaim initially.
Moreover, it’s worth noting that all these classic Bethesda titles utilize what is fundamentally the same engine. Theoretically, the Unreal Engine 5 enhancements that Oblivion received could be applied to the rest — and this might have been the strategy from the start.

Robert (or Rob for brevity) serves as an assistant editor at Push Square and has been captivated by PlayStation since the 90s when Tekken 2 introduced him to the fantastic realm of video games. He continues to take his fighting games seriously, though RPGs are his true enthusiasm. The Witcher, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, Tales — he’s played them all. Perhaps a bit too much, others might suggest.
