For many Elder Scrolls fans, the Oblivion remaster feels like the first big news for the franchise in years. And while that’s kind of true for console and PC gamers, we did actually get a new Elder Scrolls game just last year. I’m talking about the mobile game The Elder Scrolls: Castles, which launched globally in September 2024. Although a bit of a different take on the franchise, Castles features plenty of fun references to the lore of Elder Scrolls, giving mobile gamers a fun way to engage with the series. Naturally, that means the game had to lean into the Oblivion: Remastered excitement with a brand new update that’s fully on theme.

Although Castles isn’t the first Elder Scrolls game to arrive on mobile devices, it does things a bit differently than its predecessor, The Elder Scrolls: Blades. Namely, the game is more of a management Sim than a combat-driven RPG. Players control their dynasty, which is full of familiar Elder Scrolls faces. There’s resource management, happiness mechanics, and even decoration. And now, all of it is getting a nice refresh in celebration of the remastered Oblivion.
Today, the Elder Scrolls: Castles account on X shared the exciting news that the game is celebrating the release of Oblivion: Remastered with some new Imperial decorations. Players will also be able to enjoy new gear along with new, Imperial-themed quests.
This new content is available in The Elder Scrolls: Castles today, so gamers should make sure to update their mobile app to the latest version. Along with the new Oblivion-themed content, this latest update brings in some bug fixes and improvements, as well.
