Rumors of a remake for The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion have been circulating for quite some time, but now it seems that fans may finally get some official news on the highly anticipated project. Reports suggest that Bethesda may be gearing up to announce the remake, with speculations pointing to a possible release before June of this year.
The buzz around an Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remake began in 2023 when a former employee of Chinese studio Virtuos hinted at the project on Reddit. Subsequent leaks from a 2020 internal Microsoft document further fueled the rumors, and more recently, another former Virtuous employee added to the speculation of a remake in the works.
Despite Bethesda’s tight-lipped stance on the matter, insider NatetheHate, known for accurate Microsoft leaks, hinted at a potential upcoming announcement via social media. Mentioning a revised release window, rumors suggest that the Oblivion remake may hit shelves sooner than initially anticipated, possibly even as early as next month.
If the rumors hold true, players can expect a “fully remade” version of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion developed in Unreal 5, featuring various system overhauls including revamped gameplay mechanics and updated visuals. With the original game’s release anniversary approaching, it seems like the perfect time for Bethesda to unveil their plans for the beloved title.
