A Journey Back: The Original Release of Oblivion
Developed by Bethesda Game Studios and co-published by Bethesda Softworks and 2K Games, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion was originally slated for a late 2005 launch as an Xbox 360 launch title. However, development delays pushed its release to March 2006 for both Xbox 360 and PC.
- The mobile version, developed by Superscape and published by Vir2L Studios, launched in May 2006.
- The PlayStation 3 version arrived later, releasing in North America in March 2007 and Europe in April 2007.
- A planned PSP version was ultimately canceled.
Over the years, Oblivion has seen several bundled editions, including special packages paired with titles like Fallout 3 and BioShock, cementing its legacy as a cornerstone of modern RPGs.

- PlayStation 5
