Now that Bethesda is getting whipped, will this game get a patch?

[Syad]

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered for the Nintendo Switch 2 is co-developed by Bethesda Softworks and the external studio Virtuos. It launches physically and digitally on August 11, 2026

Clearly the people are there. 😬😬

It shows that dev team is there, and is currently hired and active and is working on oblivion. It wouldn't be the first time a PC game got some work done, as a side effect, i recall Nier automata got a patch after it got a remaster on consoles, or something like that. Not that im optimistic, but it's better than the void heh. 😬

uh? they were always there, virtous didn't vanish into thin air after the release

[Syad]

it's a 3rd party dev studio, they were hired to make a remake and i ended their work soon after release. Looking it up this is what they have been doing since Oblivion

Subnautica 2 (2026 on Windows, Xbox Series, Windows Apps)
Kiln (2026 on Windows, Windows Apps, PlayStation 5...)
Samson (2026 on Windows)
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (2025 on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2)
Mafia: The Old Country (2025 on Windows, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series)
Dune: Awakening (2025 on Windows)
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Remastered (2025 on Windows)

And looks like they are working on Oblivion again!

It's possible PC will see around update then.

[Foxrun]

It'll never receive another update and in a few years MSFT will close down BGS or sell them off.

[belzlin]

im sure the game will run fcking great on switch 2

I'm not going to hold my breath for any patches. Until proven otherwise, I consider the PC version of Oblivion remaster to be unfinished abandonware.

[Jack Greedy]

I still belive in Bethesda, we will get patch.

[EtaYorius]

I really, REALLY hope so... but very Unlikely. It's Bethesda modus operandi. Release anything, then move on and abandon it for the next re-release of the same games since the last 15 years.

I don't think so...Bethesda is full of lazy developers.
Beside, they are busy with switch 2 version.

Normally i would agree but they have a new leadership at Microsoft Games. Apparently they are whipping people into shape and laying people off. Something is definitely happening!

This is an important email I sent today to all employees at XBOX:

Team,

We are beginning the most significant restructure in XBOX history. After careful consideration, I've made the difficult decision to reduce our team

I know this is painful.
Our business today is not healthy.

First, we will reset our content portfolio.
Second, we will reset our platform.
Third, we are resetting how we operate.

History is full of companies that mistake longevity for inevitability. We will not be one of them.
