The mobile version, crafted by Superscape and published by Vir2L Studios, hit the market in May 2006. The PlayStation 3 version followed in March 2007 in North America, and April 2007 in Europe. Plans for a PSP version fell through, but the game saw several bundled releases, including pairings with Fallout 3 and BioShock.
Recent leaks, believed to originate from developer Virtuos' website, have stirred excitement with promotional art and comparisons between the original and remastered versions of Oblivion. The remaster is slated for release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S (with Game Pass availability), and PC.
