It’s time to return to Tamriel and “close shut the jaws of Oblivion” one more time in Oblivion Remastered , an Unreal Engine 5 remake of Bethesda’s classic open-world RPG by Virtuos Studios.

Including most of the incredible DLC from the original game, such as the Knights of the Nine expansion, the Vile Lair, Wizards Tower and Thieves Den, and one of the greatest expansion packs of all time, The Shivering Isles, Oblivion Remastered is now the definitive way to experience the immersive continent of Cyrodiil.

However, gaming has changed a lot since Oblivion’s original release in 2006. While many of the quests still display the same exceptional writing and twists of intrigue as they did back then, some of the logic and dependencies can show their age, leaving you wondering where to go next, what you’re missing or what you’re doing wrong.

To help out, we’ve delved into our extensive knowledge of Cyrodiil to provide a comprehensive Oblivion Remastered guide covering the key sticking points you might have with the game. We’ve explained everything from how to build your character and level them up strategically, to the best items to track down and how to complete Oblivion’s trickiest quests.
