After months of swirling rumors and tantalizing leaks, it appears Bethesda is on the brink of officially unveiling the much-anticipated remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The announcement is scheduled for tomorrow at 8am PT/11am ET, and fans can catch the reveal live on both YouTube and Twitch.
The official Bethesda Twitter account dropped the news today, accompanied by an image that heavily hints at the nature of the announcement. The prominent "IV" and a background eerily reminiscent of classic Oblivion artwork leave little doubt about what's coming.
Speculation about an Oblivion remake has been rampant for what feels like an eternity. The first whispers surfaced back in 2020, stemming from a leaked Bethesda release schedule during the FTC vs. Microsoft trial in 2023. That document hinted at an Oblivion remaster slated for fiscal year 2022, but the timeline had passed, leading many to believe the project might have been scrapped. However, hope was reignited in January of this year when a new leak suggested that Bethesda, in collaboration with Virtuos, was working on a full-fledged remake. The rumors gained further credibility last week when images purportedly from Virtuos' website surfaced, showcasing the remake in action.
If these recent leaks hold true, The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered is set to launch on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. Fans can look forward to both a standard edition and a Deluxe Edition, which will feature the iconic horse armor.
Be sure to tune in tomorrow for what promises to be an exciting confirmation and more juicy details about this long-awaited remake.
