The announcement, which the studio shared shortly after the remastered RPG's official release on the Nintendo Switch 2, means technical adjustments are on the horizon.

According to Bethesda, the upcoming patch is actively being worked on to improve the experience for players returning to Cyrodiil. The remastered edition recently brought the gates of Oblivion to Nintendo's latest hardware, and the studio is now looking to refine how the classic adventure runs on the platform.
