A mobile version, developed by Superscape and published by Vir2L Studios, followed in May 2006. The PlayStation 3 version hit North American shelves in March 2007 and European markets in April 2007. Plans for a PSP version were scrapped, but various bundle releases paired Oblivion with titles like Fallout 3 and BioShock.
Recently, leaked images surfaced online, allegedly from developer Virtuos' website. These images showcased promotional art for Oblivion, alongside comparisons between the original and the upcoming remastered version. It's been revealed that the remastered game will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S (with Game Pass inclusion), and PC.
Rumors are circulating about a Deluxe Edition, which might include bonus weapons and a horse armor DLC pack. However, these remain unconfirmed by Bethesda. Stay tuned to Bethesda's livestream on April 22 for the official unveiling of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered.
