Summary

TES 4: Oblivion Remastered is reportedly coming to the Switch 2.
The timing of its alleged release is still unclear.
The original Switch received an Elder Scrolls game—Skyrim—eight months following its release.

The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered is coming to the Nintendo Switch 2, according to a new rumor from a long-time Microsoft leaker. The timing of the game’s purported Switch 2 release is unclear.

The remaster of TES 4: Oblivion was Microsoft’s worst-kept secret in recent memory, having leaked on numerous occasions in the run-up to its official announcement. The modernized version of the iconic open-world RPG was shadow-dropped for the Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC on April 22.

Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons Were Almost Missing a Helpful Feature

Senior Nintendo officials reveal that the Switch 2 Joy-Cons nearly missed out on a helpful feature that took many iterations to perfect.

At least one more version of the game is in the works, according to Extas1s. The Spanish leaker’s latest YouTube report saw him claim that the Nintendo’s Switch successor will eventually join the list of platforms that can play TES 4: Oblivion Remastered. “Work is already underway on the Nintendo Switch 2 version of the Oblivion remake,” Extas1s said around the 17th-minute mark in his April 22 video.

TES 4: Oblivion Remastered Switch 2 Port Would Establish a New Bethesda Trend

Only eight months after Nintendo launched the original Switch, Bethesda had already released an Elder Scrolls game for it, debuting the first portable version of Skyrim in November 2017. If a Switch 2 version of Oblivion Remastered is indeed already in the works, it could materialize at a similar distance from its target platform’s release. This scenario would also establish a trend, marking the second consecutive generation in which Bethesda supports a new Nintendo console within its first year.

Work is already underway on the Nintendo Switch 2 version of the Oblivion remake.

Nintendo Switch 2 Will Be a Bona Fide RPG Machine

Oblivion Remastered or not, the Switch successor shouldn’t be lacking in RPGs. The Switch 2 launch game lineup features several such titles, including Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster, Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition, Deltarune, Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut, and Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army. Wild Hearts S, Ys X: Proud Nordics, and Star Wars Outlaws are also coming to Nintendo’s next console within months of its release, as are Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition and Pokemon Legends: Z-A. Many more RPGs are rumored to be in the works for the Switch 2, including’s Atlus’s Persona 3 Reload and Metaphor: ReFantazio.

The Switch 2 itself is slated for a June 5 launch. The console has been available for pre-order in many parts of the world since April 9. U.S. pre-orders will open tomorrow, April 24. The console will retail for $449.99, 50% more than its predecessor. Not counting the backward-compatible catalog, the Switch 2 launch game lineup will have at least 23 titles, including Mario Kart World, Fast Fusion, Street Fighter 6, and Civilization 7.
