Oblivion Remastered Deluxe Edition Has Exclusive Quests

The Deluxe Edition of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered includes exclusive quests. The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered was finally shadow dropped years after its existence was first leaked. Developed by Virtuos and built with Unreal Engine 5, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered features significantly revamped graphics and a slew of gameplay tweaks while still staying true to the 2006 original.

The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered’s shadow drop saw the game release immediately for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X. Since Microsoft owns Bethesda, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered is also available on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Oblivion Remastered is priced at $49.99 for the base game, which includes the massive original and the Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine story expansions. However, those willing to pay a little bit extra can net themselves some exclusive content.

The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered’s Deluxe Edition is $59.99 and comes with the base game as well as new quests that grant players Akatosh and Mehrunes Dagon Armors, Weapons, and Horse Armor Sets. Those that shell out the extra cash for the Deluxe Edition can also snag a Digital Artbook and Soundtrack App. Deluxe Edition Upgrades are also available for $9.99 for those playing through Game Pass Ultimate or who only have the base game.

Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Deluxe Edition Content

Digital base game (also in Standard Edition)

New quests for unique Akatosh and Mehrunes Dagon Armors, Weapons, and Horse Armor Sets

Digital Artbook and Soundtrack App

Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine story expansions (also in Standard Edition)

Additional downloadable content: Fighter’s Stronghold, Spell Tomes, Vile Lair, Mehrune’s Razor, The Thieves Den, Wizard’s Tower, The Orrery, and Horse Pack Armor (also in Standard Edition)

Locking exclusive quests to the Deluxe Edition will likely upset some fans, but to be fair, the base game offers a dizzying amount of content as it is. Oblivion’s base game features a massive open world to explore, multiple Guilds to join with their own unique quest lines, a main story, and no shortage of side quests. The DLC expansions add even more for players to do, ensuring that Oblivion Remastered will keep players busy for hours on end, with or without the Deluxe Edition content.

Considering the sheer amount of hype that has been building for the game, it’s likely that The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered is going to draw in a great number of players. If the game is a success, chances are other Bethesda games may get a similar treatment. In fact, it’s long been rumored that a Fallout 3 remaster or remake may be in the works as well, though it has yet to be officially announced. If Bethesda has success with this shadow drop strategy, perhaps the same thing will be considered for Fallout 3.
