After months of swirling rumors and tantalizing leaks, it appears that Bethesda is on the brink of officially unveiling the much-anticipated remaster of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The announcement is set to take place tomorrow at 11:00 am EST, and fans can catch the reveal live on both YouTube and Twitch.
In a recent post on Twitter/X, Bethesda teased the event with a cryptic image featuring a prominent "IV" and a background strikingly reminiscent of iconic Oblivion artwork, hinting strongly at what's to come.
The buzz around an Oblivion remake has been building for what feels like an eternity. The initial whispers turned into concrete leaks starting with a 2020 Bethesda release schedule that surfaced during the FTC vs. Microsoft trial in 2023. This document suggested a remaster was slated for fiscal year 2022, though its age and passed release window initially cast doubt on its validity. However, momentum picked up again in January of this year when another leak emerged, describing the project as a comprehensive remake, developed by Bethesda in collaboration with Virtuos. The latest leaks, just last week, included images from Virtuos' website showcasing the remake in action, lending further credibility to the rumors.
Should these leaks hold true, The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered is expected to launch on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. Fans can look forward to a Deluxe Edition, which will include the iconic horse armor, in addition to the standard version.
Be sure to tune in tomorrow for what could be the official confirmation of this long-awaited project, along with further details that will undoubtedly excite the Elder Scrolls community.
