After months of swirling rumors and leaks, it appears that Bethesda is on the brink of officially unveiling their highly anticipated remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The announcement is slated for tomorrow at 11:00 am EST, as shared by Bethesda on their official Twitter/X account. The post, which teases the event across both YouTube and Twitch, cleverly hints at the subject with a prominent "IV" and a backdrop reminiscent of iconic Oblivion artwork.
Speculation about an Oblivion remake has been rampant for what feels like an eternity. Initial whispers turned into concrete leaks more recently. The first hint came from a leaked 2020 Bethesda release schedule during the FTC vs. Microsoft trial in 2023, suggesting an Oblivion remaster was in the pipeline for fiscal year 2022. Although the document's age and missed release window suggested the project might have been shelved, a fresh leak in January of this year indicated that Bethesda, with the help of support studio Virtuos, was crafting a full-scale remake. The buzz intensified last week when further leaks from Virtuos' website emerged, showcasing the remake in development.
If these recent leaks hold true, The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered will be available on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation platforms. Fans can look forward to a Deluxe Edition that includes the infamous horse armor, in addition to the standard release.
Be sure to tune in tomorrow for what is expected to be the official confirmation and further details about this exciting project.
