The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is officially heading to Nintendo Switch 2 this summer, with Bethesda confirming the game’s release date alongside a brand-new trailer.
After announcing earlier this year that the acclaimed RPG would arrive on Nintendo’s newest console in 2026, Bethesda has now revealed that players won’t have to wait much longer.
Oblivion Remastered Launches on August 11
A new release date trailer confirms that The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered will launch for Nintendo Switch 2 on August 11, 2026.
The trailer puts a humorous spin on one of the game’s most iconic characters—the Adoring Fan—who follows a real-world player everywhere, enthusiastically commenting on every mistake they make.
As the player’s frustration grows, they eventually discover there’s only one way to escape the overly devoted companion: jump back into Oblivion Remastered.
The lighthearted trailer pays tribute to one of the Elder Scrolls series’ most memorable fan-favorite NPCs.
Switch 2 Version Includes Motion Controls
Bethesda also confirmed that the Switch 2 edition will feature exclusive motion controls, allowing players to swing weapons, aim attacks, and interact with the world in new ways using Nintendo’s hardware.
