After months of speculation and leaks, it appears that Bethesda is on the brink of officially announcing the remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The excitement is palpable as the official Bethesda Twitter account has scheduled an announcement for tomorrow at 8am PT/11am ET, which will be live-streamed on both YouTube and Twitch.
While the exact nature of the announcement remains under wraps, the teaser image featuring a prominent "IV" and a background reminiscent of iconic Oblivion artwork strongly hints at what fans have been eagerly anticipating. The rumors of an Oblivion remake have been circulating for years, with significant leaks emerging recently that have fueled the anticipation.
The journey to this point began with a leaked Bethesda release schedule from 2020, uncovered during the FTC vs. Microsoft trial in 2023, which hinted at an Oblivion remaster planned for fiscal year 2022. Although that window has passed, the rumors persisted. A significant leak in January of this year suggested that Bethesda, with assistance from Virtuos, was working on a full remake rather than just a remaster. The speculation reached a fever pitch last week when images purportedly from the remake appeared on Virtuos' website, seemingly confirming the project's existence.
If these recent leaks hold true, The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered is set to launch on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. Fans can also look forward to a Deluxe Edition that includes the infamous horse armor, alongside the standard version.
Be sure to tune in tomorrow for what is expected to be the official confirmation of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remake, along with more detailed information about what players can expect from this highly anticipated release.
