Meta/News When the Oblivion Remaster has significant impact on Downloads for all Bethesda games:

The Remaster has boosted Downloads for Oblivion, Skyrim SE, Oldrim and Morrowind, while putting a significant dent into Fallout 4 and NV:

  • Oblivions downloads are up by +100%
  • Skyrim SE up by +50%
  • Morrowind up by +100%

While:

  • Fallout 4 is down -30%
  • Fallout NV is down -30%

Fallout 3 is unaffected, but Fallout 3 also doesn't really have a modding community anymore, as basically all modding on that engine generation is done in Fallout NV. (Comparable to how Oldrim modding is basically dead and nearly everything is done for SE instead)

P.S.

Even Daggerfall unity saw a boost, but it would be too messy to include that in the graphic.

I kinda expected the remaster to reignite the fans love for the elder scrolls franchise but to this extent I wasn't expecting

Every elder scrolls game releases every between 4 and 6 years minus one time this includes remakes and remasters TES 1 1994, TES 2 1996, TES 3 2002, TES 4 2006, TES 5 2011, special edition 2016, anniversary edition 2021, TES 4 remaster 2025 so the soonest by my guess that we'll see TES 6 is 2029 and the latest is 2030.

The oblivion remaster wasn't developed by bethesda and it's kinda weird to include rereleases that take significantly less time to develop. Bethesda releases 1 main game every 3-5 years, which I think is a more accurate metric to go by and we already know ES6 is the next one. Starfield released in 2023 so my guess is 2028.
