Fan Discovers Star Wars Easter Egg in Oblivion Remastered

Bethesda recently surprised gamers by unexpectedly releasing The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on April 22. The remaster has quickly become a hit, with over four million players embarking on their adventures. Fans have been thrilled to discover delightful details, such as a Star Wars Easter egg and a voice acting blooper, which have sparked a lot of excitement.

A keen-eyed fan spotted a reference to the Star Wars saga in Oblivion Remastered, something that was also present in the original version. After an unexpected release following a showcase, eager players on consoles and PC can now dive back into the revamped world.

Despite its recent launch, Oblivion Remastered is already a significant success for both Bethesda and Xbox. While it’s challenging to tally physical sales due to its availability on Xbox Game Pass, the game has topped global sales charts on Steam, even outpacing hits like Counter-Strike 2.

A Twitter post by SynthPotato brought an intriguing Easter egg to light—a scene echoing the film “Revenge of the Sith,” found near the first Oblivion Gate. The depiction of a scorched Anakin Skywalker serves as a nod to the iconic moment in the film where Anakin is left to fate on Mustafar before being saved by Emperor Palpatine, ultimately becoming Darth Vader.

The remaster has been met with widespread acclaim, with some fans arguing that it looks almost like a full remake. Bethesda’s enhancements, like the transformation of Oblivion Gates, have captivated players. Instead of static images, these portals now depict fully rendered worlds beyond. One player even remarked about wanting to live next to a gate just to savor the view.

The community is reveling in the meticulous detail Bethesda has retained, including a classic voice acting mishap from the original game. One infamous line, where a voice actor pauses to request a redo, remains intact in the remaster. With an entire world to explore, fans are eagerly rediscovering everything Bethesda’s classic RPG has to offer.
