- The hype around Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remaster has caused a player increase in the original game.
- The 2006 RPG saw an 85% spike in players despite being a backward-compatible Xbox 360 game.
- The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remaster has been revealed and officially released.
Arguably, the Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remaster has been the worst-kept secret in the gaming industry this decade, with its surprise launch spoiled by many leaks several days before the announcement. Nonetheless, the untimely leaks have only helped in building the hype around the remaster, with fans clamoring for a first look.
And, while waiting, many have taken matters into their own hands and decided to revisit the original title ahead of the Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remaster release.
Why it matters: Such legendary titles being available at a moment’s notice is a testament to the game preservation Xbox has.
According to TrueAchievements, Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion from 2006 has seen a massive increase in players on Xbox, showcasing an 85% hike in April. The humongous surge in users is further proof of the anticipation surrounding the remaster, with fans eager to get new content in the franchise.
The original Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion has attained these numbers on Xbox despite just being a backwards compatibility Xbox 360 title. Hence, there is no telling what kind of numbers the modern remaster will do now that it has launched.
As per TrueAchievements’ data, Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion saw an enormous player boost as soon as the rumors started last week, and the RPG was no.306 in the most popular games list on Xbox during the time this data was sampled. Therefore, The Elder Scrolls undoubtedly still has a massive pull on fans as a franchise.
Now that the Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remaster has been revealed and shadow dropped, it will be interesting to see if the original title still keeps gaining players. But one thing is for sure: if the remake can recreate the feelings of memory like the original, it will be a surefire hit.
With the release of Elder Scrolls 6 not coming any time soon, this remaster is the only premium video game the franchise is releasing, and consequently, hype is through the roof.
