The comparisons have ignited the community, with many people saying the visuals look more like a remake than a remaster.

Oblivion Gates Show a Fully Rendered World in the Elder Scrolls 4 Remaster

Unfortunately, despite their beauty, players will be tasked with closing Oblivion Gates in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered. In order to do this, gamers will first need to find them by paying attention to their map and the sky, as it will turn red and crackle with energy when a gate is nearby. After that, the hero will need to face off against numerous foes in order to interact with the gate. Once the player has gone through, they will need to ascend a nearby stone tower and claim a Sigil Stone for themselves, which will also allow them to destroy the Oblivion Gate. Once it's gone, the player will teleport back to the Cyrodiil safe and sound.

While unconfirmed, it has been rumored that The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered could be coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 after it launches on June 5. The news came from a prominent Microsoft leaker, but it's always best to take such information with a grain of salt until there's an official announcement. With a whole open world to rediscover and hours of enjoyment ahead, many people are feeling good about returning to Cyrodiil.
