Remember that these were estimates from more than three years ago and before Microsoft completed its acquisition of ZeniMax in March 2021, so there’s always the chance that some of these plans have changed dramatically or been scrapped entirely. But they may provide an early look at some of the games we can look forward to from Microsoft down the road.

    Since the Oblivion and Fallout 3 remasters will be on the Creation Engine, they will probably just be the old games with HD textures more or less. So basically what is already possible with mods.

    EDIT: Also, I wonder if the Skyblivion project will finally be finished just to get a cease and desist letter by MS because they do their own remaster of the game.

      Hopefully a better UI for Oblivion, with the included ability to actually remove spells.

        As long as us Germans get to keep using our “Schw. Tr. d. Le.-En. W.”

        (The German translation for “weak potion of restore health” was too long for the UI, so they just put this absolute butchering in instead)

            “Schwacher Trank der Lebensenergie-Wiederherstellung.”

            Oblivion auto generated potion names based on their effects and the template they used lead to this super long names in german. A proper translation would have been “Schwacher Heiltrank” or “Schwacher Lebensregenerstionstrank”

    An Oblivion remaster in between the Skyrim re-releases. Getting creative here…

    And what about that free next gen update for Fallout 4 that Todd announced last year as coming in 2023 and never has been mention by Bethesda ever again?
