Fans Celebrate Classic Bethesda RPG’s Anniversary With Remake Requests (& They Could Get One Soon)

by

For a long time, everyone knew a remastered version of *The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion* was in the works. Still, fans were thrilled when Bethesda unexpectedly released it earlier this year. Since then, they’ve been eagerly watching for news about what classic game might be remastered next. On September 20th, one of Bethesda’s older role-playing games celebrated an anniversary, leading fans to ask if a remaster is on the way. With a significant date approaching, it seems like a perfect time for Bethesda to announce a new remaster.

Bethesda recently acknowledged the 29th anniversary of *The Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall* with a fun social media post showing skeletons celebrating with a cake. As usual, the post quickly sparked requests from fans for a remake or remaster of the classic game. With the 30th anniversary coming up in 2026, many are hoping Bethesda will finally consider updating *Daggerfall* for modern players.

Fans Hopeful for Daggerfall Remaster on Game’s 30th Anniversary

Bethesda recently celebrated its 29th birthday on social media, and the most popular reply was a request for a remake. User @SpeedGod_CDN jokingly urged Bethesda to release a remake for their 30th anniversary, adding the well-known “Shut up and take my money!” meme from the show Futurama. While Bethesda’s post didn’t mention any plans for a remake or remaster, many fans seem to be hoping for one.

Welcome Adventurer, and Happy 29th Birthday to The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall!

Released on September 20, 1996, *The Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall* is the second role-playing game from Bethesda set in the world of Tamriel. Players embark on a quest to find a legendary weapon, exploring a vast world that’s created randomly each time you play. While it feels different than newer *Elder Scrolls* games, it’s packed with backstory and world-building, making it essential for fans who want to experience the series’ origins.

While fondly remembered, *Daggerfall* hasn’t aged as gracefully as newer Elder Scrolls games. It’s actually available as a free download on Steam, which speaks to its age. Though nostalgia plays a part, the game’s graphics and gameplay feel dated. The quests, while numerous, can become repetitive due to their randomized nature. However, the game still offers deep character customization options that some players appreciate, especially considering it’s free.

While many Elder Scrolls fans still enjoy the original game, it could really benefit from an updated version, perhaps even more than *Oblivion*. However, updating it would be a larger undertaking, as the game feels quite dated compared to modern RPGs. Although Bethesda hasn’t announced any plans for further remasters, many fans are speculating that this recent birthday message might hint at a major announcement for the game’s 30th anniversary in 2026.

While a complete remake seems unlikely, many fans, like one Reddit user named @Pr0t3k, are hoping for a physical re-release or a special collector’s edition of the game. Considering how different *Daggerfall* is from today’s games, this seems like the more realistic possibility. Bethesda hasn’t announced anything yet, but it might be worth checking their social media on September 20th, 2026 – just in case. I plan to do just that!
