Oblivion remake

Today, Bethesda unveiled The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, described as a "love letter" to the original game with updated graphics, modernized gameplay, and more. Better yet, the game is available to play today through Game Pass, Xbox Series, PlayStation 5, and PC.

The game has been rebuilt from the ground up in Unreal Engine 5, although the teams at both Bethesda and Virtuos said little about the core of the game has changed.

Retrotink CEO Mike Chi said, "Due to lack of guidance on how tariffs will be collected starting May 2nd, we've made the difficult decision to temporarily suspend US shipment." He points out that there is some reserve stock in the United States, so you might still be able to buy Retrotink devices for a limited time. "We also expect that this will be resolved eventually - but it is impossible to say when or how," Chi said.
