Todd Howard, Bethesda's director, emphasized the aim for players to rediscover the essence of the original game while updating graphics, gameplay, and audio. The remaster allows character upgrades by merging features from both Oblivion and its sequel. Developers described it as 'a love letter' to a game that has left a lasting impact on the series and its players.
"Oblivion was a really defining moment in the series," Howard said in the announcement. "I think with a remaster, we want people to feel the way they did then - but it's still a game of its time, you want to keep the bones in place."

More than 600,000 people watched the live announcement on YouTube. And the reveal that the game would be available immediately drew shock and excitement from those watching, with many viewers writing "Praise be Todd" in the comments.
