Bethesda has released update 1.2 for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, currently in Steam beta and coming soon to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 consoles.
The main highlight of the update is the new Journeyman mode, making the experience accessible for even more players. A batch of bug fixes also arrives to continue to iron out the game.
What’s new in Oblivion Remastered with update 1.2?
The latest update to Oblivion Remastered introduces a new difficulty setting called Journeyman, although its initial roll out is in beta. Journeyman is designed to offer a balanced challenge focused specifically on Player Combat Damage and Enemy Combat Damage. Thanks to this addition, players can now choose from six difficulty levels: Novice, Apprentice, Adept, Journeyman, Expert, and Master. The Journeyman difficulty fills a gap for players who feel that Adept is too simplistic, but find Expert far too punishing, offering a middle ground for more rewarding combat encounters.
As previously mentioned, Oblivion Remastered update 1.2 is still in Steam beta. To access the beta branch, all you have to do is:
- Open your Steam Library and navigate to The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered
- Right click on The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered and select “Properties”
- In the pop-up window, select “Betas”
- In the drop down menu, select “\[beta]”
- Wait for app to download the new build and then launch
The update has brought about a plethora of bug fixes across all platforms, not just PC. From fixes to quests, the UI, performance, and gameplay, there aren’t many areas of Oblivion Remastered left untouched. The full patch notes for Oblivion Remastered update 1.2 can be viewed here.
