In a nostalgic wave of gaming enthusiasm, Bethesda’s remaster of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion has reached an impressive milestone of nine million players. This feat, comparable to nearly double the population of Norway, indicates a significant draw to the enchanting landscapes and quests of Cyrodiil. Bethesda announced the news via social media, showcasing delightful artwork featuring the iconic Adoring Fan, expressing gratitude to the community for their adventures.

“To everyone who emerged as a hero of Kvatch, mastered Arch-Mage, rose to Grand Champion, banished the Blackwood Company, gallivanted as the Gray Fox, and listened to the Night. Thank you for sharing in our worlds. ❤️” — Bethesda Studios

Interestingly, Bethesda listed player’s accomplishments primarily from guild quests, but humorously avoided mentioning the completion of the main quest, a nod to the dedicated players who still haven’t taken the Amulet of Kings to Jauffre.

As fans indulge in both nostalgia and the game’s quirky charm, conversations regarding the remastering of more titles from their cherished back catalog emerge. With the recent success, speculations are rife regarding possible remakes of games such as Fallout 3 and even discussions around Morrowind and Skyrim. The future seems ripe for additional remasters, encouraging both excitement and debate within the gaming community.
