A creative fan of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered has taken the game’s detailed character creator to the next level, crafting a stunning likeness of none other than John Wick. The stylish and lethal assassin, famously portrayed by Keanu Reeves, is now a playable character in Tamriel — and fans are loving it.
A Modern Assassin in a Fantasy World
The tribute was posted by Reddit user lvl80warlock, who shared screenshots of their character named Sir Johnathan Wick. With an uncanny resemblance to Reeves — complete with the signature long hair and beard — the post quickly gained attention across the Oblivion community.
The build uses the Warrior birthsign and the Spellsword class, fitting for a character known for both his martial skill and ruthless efficiency. The creator promised to release the slider positions used in the build so that others can bring their own John Wick into the game.
Oblivion Remastered’s Surprise Success
The re-release of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered took fans by surprise when it launched last month. The remaster earned critical acclaim for its faithful recreation of the 2006 RPG classic, modernizing visuals and performance while keeping the heart of the game intact. Within just days, it amassed over four million active players on Steam, and fan creations like this are proof of its thriving community.
A Legacy of Fan Creativity
This isn’t the first time Oblivion’s character creator has been used for wildly imaginative builds. Fans have brought everything from Abraham Lincoln to Darth Kermit into the game. But John Wick is arguably one of the most fitting additions — a silent, relentless figure of vengeance dropped into a chaotic medieval world.
Why Fans Love It
Bringing pop culture icons into fantasy worlds has long been a fan pastime in moddable games. This John Wick recreation showcases how powerful and flexible Oblivion Remastered‘s systems remain even years after its original release. It’s a testament to both the modding community and the timeless appeal of the game itself.
With players now requesting a full mod guide and build tutorial, we may soon see Tamriel swarmed with assassins in black suits — and a whole lot of revenge.
