The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered just launched, and with it, a chance to revisit one of the most deeply mythic stories in gaming.
In this video, I explore Oblivion through the philosophy of Mircea Eliade—specifically his ideas on sacred time, eternal return, and the role of myth in a secular world. Martin Septim’s sacrifice, the Daedric invasion, and the return of Akatosh all form part of a powerful ritual drama that still resonates nearly two decades later.
If you’ve ever wondered why Oblivion has stayed with us for so long, this might be the reason.
