1up is reporting that after yesterday, fans alerted Bethesda Softworks to a game-breaking bug discovered in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion: Shivering Isles, which started to appear after gamers had cleared 50 hours of gameplay within the expansion. Bethesda has already issued a beta patch to start solving the issue. Because it's a beta, however, the studio warns of casual users hopping straight in, as there could be unforeseen issues that occur upon installation.
IGN : How does the new The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, released in 2025 for Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, Steam, and PS5, compare to the original 2006 Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion released on Xbox 360, played via Xbox Series X/S Backwards Compatibility?
With The Elder Scrolls 6 still far into the future fans have been taking matters into their own hands with projects like Skyblivion.
Skyblivion remakes Oblivion in Skyrim's engine, and the huge mod is nearing completion, but the team could use some assistance.
Good for Bethesda for responding quickly to this.
