Bethesda is eager to reassure you that its house is not, in fact, on fire in the wake of 3,200 layoffs (1,600 that already happened, 1,600 that are still to come) at Xbox that claimed numerous devs<\/a> at the studio, including the artist responsible for designing The Elder Scrolls’ khajiit and argonians<\/a>. Thus, its recent announcement that it currently has Fallout 3 and New Vegas remasters<\/a> in the oven as well as an incoming, Obsidian-made Fallout.<\/p>\n

Now, in response to questions from YouTuber MrMattyPlays<\/a>, Bethesda has said that the layoffs also won’t affect its plans for The Elder Scrolls 6<\/a>. “The roadmap [for TES6] is unaffected,” said the studio. That’s all you’re getting. No, really.<\/p>\n

Bethesda was ever-so-slightly more chatty about its plans for Oblivion Remastered. Yes, Bethesda has plans for Oblivion Remastered. I’m as surprised as you are. <\/p>\n

Since a one-two punch of patches the game got shortly after it released last year, the UE5-ified re-do of one of the funniest games ever made<\/a> seems to have been largely forgotten<\/a>, despite still having its fair share of performance hitches and bugs. MrMattyPlays also asked if Bethesda planned to remember Oblivion Remastered on other platforms when it gets its Switch release in August. Apparently it does!<\/p>\n

“The team working on remasters is focused on the Switch 2 launch,” said Bethesda, but take heart: that version “has optimizations we hope to bring to console\/PC.” I also hope that. I had a good time with the Oblivion remaster despite its issues, but I’d quite like to be able to enjoy it, you know, not in spite of anything.<\/p>\n
