In a strategic move to capitalize on the renewed popularity of its classic RPG series, Bethesda has permanently reduced the prices of two landmark titles - The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind and The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. Both games now carry a $10 price tag, down from their previous $15 valuation.

This pricing adjustment comes at an opportune moment, coinciding with the successful launch of Oblivion Remastered. The remastered version has reportedly outsold the original game's first-year sales within its initial month of release, demonstrating the enduring appeal of this fantasy RPG franchise.

The Elder Scrolls series has seen remarkable evolution since its 1994 debut with Arena. While Daggerfall (1996) showcased massive procedural generation, Morrowind (2002) revolutionized the series with its meticulously crafted world of Vvardenfell. Oblivion (2006) then propelled the franchise into mainstream success, a trajectory that continued with Skyrim's record-breaking 60 million units sold.

Interestingly, despite Oblivion Remastered's strong performance, many players are returning to Skyrim, which recently surpassed the remaster in peak player counts. This phenomenon suggests gamers enjoy comparing the enhanced version with both its original incarnation and subsequent series entries.

Latest Game Information

The new $10 price point appears to be a permanent adjustment rather than a temporary sale. Third-party tracking sites like XBDeals confirm the change, and historical data shows these titles have previously been discounted as low as $3-$4 during special promotions.

For fans awaiting news about The Elder Scrolls 6, the wait continues. Nearly seven years since its initial announcement, concrete details about the next mainline entry remain scarce, with rumors suggesting a Hammerfell setting but no official confirmation from Bethesda.
