Released last month,Oblivion Remasteredis already one of the best-selling games of 2025. The remaster reached over four million players in three days, and it has reignited the community’s love for one of Bethesda’s best games. However, despite the game recreating an almost 20-year-old title, fans are still being surprised by some odd discoveries.
A gamer called TaricIsNotASupport recently discovered a mysterious spectral horse with no name near Frostcrag Spire. This weird horse is translucent and has an eerie green glow, appearing as a non-corporeal being. According to the user, they had played the originalOblivionfor “thousands of hours," and had never found this creature before. This prompted the community to search for any indication that thisspectral horse existed in the original game, but no one seems to have found anything so far. The mystery has divided the community, as some gamers believe that this could be an Easter egg added toOblivion Remastered, while others believe that it may be a glitch. This may be simply an armored horse with a glitched magical effect on it, but fans of the game aren’t ready to give up their search just yet.
Oblivion Remastered Player Discovers Spectral Horse Not Found in Original Game
In a second post, TaricIsNotASupport unveiled more information about the horse, which they called “Spookmane,” showing that the animal stays spectral even after receiving buffs. While the player claims to be playing using a PS5, which doesn’t have official mod support, the community was not able to get a final answer on whether the whole story was fabricated with mods, a glitch, or simply a well-hidden secret.
While some of the changes inOblivion Remasteredhave excited fans of the original title, others have not been so well-received. For example, thecommunity was upset withOblivion Remastered’s Fine Steel Claymore, which currently looks exactly like the regular weapon.
This story is another example of how gamers are discovering many interesting details about the originalOblivionwith the new release. One player recently found thatit’s possible to leave Cyrodiil inOblivion Remastered, for example, something that was possible in 2006, but most gamers were not aware of before playing the remaster. Hopefully, others will keep making unusual discoveries in Cyrodiil and sharing them online.
