What is Oblivion about?
Oblivion was the fourth main game in the Elder Scrolls series and was set in Tamriel’s capital region of Cyrodil.
Set a few years after the Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, the game saw an adventurer known as the Hero of Kvatch go on a quest to deliver a message and install the now-dead emperor’s long-lost son to the throne. This was all while fending off an invasion by the Daedric Prince of Destruction, Mehrunes Dagon.
We’re still (im)patiently waiting for The Elder Scrolls 6 to release, so in the meantime, you can check out everything we know about the long-awaited sequel.
