Oblivion 5th anniversary edition spotted

By Wesley Yin-Poole Published 23 May, 2011

Comes with money off Skyrim voucher.

Sprawling fantasy role-playing epic The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion looks set for a limited re-release in June.

Listings for a 5th anniversary edition have popped up on online shops, spotted by the wonderfully-named Nitro Beard.

It includes:

  • Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Game Of The Year Edition.
  • Collector's Edition Content (map, 'Making Of' DVD with an added Skyrim trailer).
  • A $10 Off Coupon (redeemable at any retailer, nationwide) for Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

According to the site the innards come in a steelbook with slip cover. A June PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 release is planned.

Oblivion launched in 2006 to critical and commercial acclaim. Eurogamer's Oblivion review rolled a whopping 10/10.

Follow-up Skyrim is due out later this year.

    You might tell us what DLC and expansions came in the "Game of the Year" edition...

  • coolbritannia #2 1 year ago

    5 years? Fuck, I better finish this.

    @Mr Wizard, I'm guessing all of them.

    #2...I had better start it then ;)

    looking forward to Skyrim.

  • Eraysor #4 1 year ago

    It was so good I've bought it twice already!

  • roquey Verified Lead Quality Assurance Tester and Compliance Specialist, Universally Speaking #5 1 year ago

    Seeing as the discount is in $ rather than £/€ can this be confirmed if its your majority Demographic or its just America please EUROgamer.

  • systems #6 1 year ago

    It's just the US.

  • YenooR #7 1 year ago

    Now if this came with ps3 trophies I'd be sold.

  • Mr_Wizard #8 1 year ago

    @coolbritannia I guessed so too, but according to Wikipedia the "Game of the Year" pack only included the bigger expansions - Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles.

  • Tonne #9 1 year ago

    @Mr_Wizard goty edit came with knights of the nine, shivering isles and offcourse the most famous dlc ever created horse armor.

  • gott_sei_dank #10 1 year ago

    No horse armour?

  • midnight_walker #11 1 year ago

    Seeing as the discount is in $ rather than £/€ can this be confirmed if its your majority Demographic or its just America please EUROgamer.

    Given that the videogame exchange rate is always £1 = $1, this obviously means we'll get £10 off, right?

  • Widge #12 1 year ago

    Ps3 trophies AND vampirism bug fix.

    Which they will no way be arsed to fix.

  • roquey Verified Lead Quality Assurance Tester and Compliance Specialist, Universally Speaking #13 1 year ago

    @midnight_walker i wasnt asking how much Europe/UK would get off. i was asking if it was actually gonna be here. And you know it aint gonna work like that. itl be like £5 if it comes this way.

    EDIT: After re reading the sarcasm was duely noted.

  • Murton #14 1 year ago

    As a general rule I don't buy the same game twice, but if this box is reasonably priced, includes the DLC that was withheld from the PS3 version and added trophy support then I'd buy it whether the money off Skyrim voucher was included or not.

    Sadly I doubt this will be the case, so I guess I'll just look forward to Skyrim and hope that it actually works despite Bethesda's desperate clinging to the GameBryo engine, memory leaks and all.

  • MJHaylett #15 1 year ago

    it'll have to have Trophies if they re-release it for PS3 right? Seeing as I have put in over 200 Hours into TES IV it won't be enough to make me buy it and play it again - maybe.

  • disappointed #16 1 year ago

    It's £22 on all formats at Overstock.com (dunno about shipping but they're in the US). So technically, you'd be better off buying a used copy of the Platinum release and saving your money. But then you won't get an "Oooh, shiny box..." moment when it arrives.

  • HyperTails #17 1 year ago

    One of my favourite games, so looks like i'll be buying this. Again.

    As for Skyrim... can't... friggin'... wait!

  • Bleh #18 1 year ago

    I'm looking for a phantasy rpg for my PS3, would it still be worth getting?

  • HyperTails #19 1 year ago

    @Bleh

    Yes, definately. Its amazing. Nothing like being sent on a quest to wipe out a cave full of vampires, or to be walking through the forest and stumble upon a Daedric shrine. Or a unicorn.

  • FladgeMangle #20 1 year ago

    If they fix the vampire bug and include the DLC that wasn't previously available for PS3 then I'd definitely buy this.

    Currently playing the GOTY version again. Completed all the guilds and the arena, finished knights of the nine and shivering isles but I'd dearly love to run a den of thieves, own my own castle and tower, explore a huge underground dungeon and repair that damn orrery.

    Can you put horse armour on Shadowmere? Anyway, probably not going to happen... ho hum.

    Those five years went quick.

  • Lusterpurge #22 1 year ago

    The 360 and PS3 versions (and unmodded PC version) still have a lot of bugs that were never fixed. I wonder if any of them are patched in this version?

  • Olemak #23 1 year ago

    "Oblivion launched in 2006 to critical and commercial acclaim. Eurogamer's Oblivion review rolled a whopping 10/10, which was later met with a massive backlash. Oblivion's long-tooth engine was passé already back then, and the gameplay was exceptionally boring, particularly the one-button combat system. The auto-levelling of monsters was universally reviled, and the character progression system was essentially broken. The horse armour DLC has become a standing joke in the industry. However, we at Eurogamer were seduced by the game's sheer massiveness, which is really the only explanation for why we gave this top marks, because seriously, this really is an eight at best. Maybe even just a six, on a harsh day. Today, Oblivion is widely recognized as the most over-marked game in the history of video games . We messed that one up, we admit it. Suckers for hype, we are. Sorry. It won't ever happen again. Skyrim will get a real review, we promise."

    There. Fixed.

    @Tonne

    Did it? I've got the goty edition and I don't recall getting the horse armour! Might have to double check tonight.

  • meanmrmustard #25 1 year ago

    I'm pretty sure the GOTY edition only included the Major expansions, no Horse Armour, No battlehorn castle or any of the other plugins.

    What would be nice is if the PC edition of this included an extra disk with the unofficial patches and a selection of the developers' favourite mods in a nice simple installer, I have a feeling that would be do-able if they had asked for permission from the original creators of the mods and gave them credit for their work.

  • Snake_2011 #26 1 year ago

    please add trophies to it.

  • jimr9999us #27 1 year ago

    @coolbrit: aye likewise...it's a shame I can't get beyond figuring how the hell to build a working class so I can get out and adventure.

    Not a game to play if you have the slightest shred of OCD.

  • rayscoota #28 1 year ago

    Well I hope they have fixed the prog not responding crash on win7 and vista when you want to exit if this is a re-release, I love this companys games but they are always buggy to hell.

  • carrotcake #29 1 year ago

    I've bought it 4 times. Twice on 360, once on PS3, once on Steam. I can never get rid of the Steam version so looks like it will be the last time I buy it.

  • FortysixterUK #30 1 year ago

    What a rip off...lol....I like the steel case though.....and is this the day for odd Xbox stories? First a re-release of a re -release and also xbox 360 now going 3d ?

    What an odd day

  • deano2099 #31 1 year ago

    @meanmrmustard agreed. Would not even have to be restricted to PC - the mods would work fine on a console (those that require a ton of extra graphics/processing power aside) there's just no way to get them on there.

  • goatjugsoup #32 1 year ago

    if i didnt already have it on the pc with all the dlc plus the goty version on ps3 this would be a good deal, heres hoping it gets even more people interested in skyrim

  • gnrlstuart #33 1 year ago

    why the fuck post this if it's US only? at least state that before going into intricate detail about it's content.
