As a gamer, I might wonder why I’d want to dive back into an almost two-decade-old open-world game when there are newer, more immersive titles like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Cyberpunk 2077 available.

Occasionally, an unexpected event in the gaming industry is known as a “surprise launch,” where games are announced and released on the same day. This usually applies to DLCs, smaller game releases, or playtests. Interestingly, it appears that we might experience such a surprise launch with The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. For months, there have been rumors about this remastered version, but within the past month, it’s started to seem like a tangible reality. However, neither Xbox nor Bethesda have given any hints about it, suggesting that it could be imminent.
Until May 22nd, you’re invited to join the Imagination Celebration Event, where you’ll team up with Hello Kitty and your Sanrio companions for a medieval-themed adventure.

A bit of enchantment is required – luckily, you can also don the wizard’s hat to lend a magical hand to Hello Kitty.
The Infinity Tomb Raider team has unveiled early designs from the abandoned Anniversary remake project, indicating that some progress had been made before it was ultimately scrapped. Among these early assets are models of Lara Croft and various animals in development, as well as unfinished levels.

Even with big-name titles such as Assassin’s Creed Shadows and Split Fiction hitting the market at the same time, this game emerged as one of Rebellion’s top-selling games yet.
