Following the leak, Virtuos' website has become nearly inaccessible, with most pages beyond the main landing page currently down. Despite the quick action to scrub the details, the screenshots and information have already spread widely across the internet.
According to VGC, the remaster, officially titled The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, is being developed through a collaboration between Virtuos and Bethesda's studios in Dallas and Rockville. Virtuos, known for its work on various remasters including The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition, is bringing their expertise to this project.
The remastered version of Oblivion is set to launch on PC, Xbox Series X|S (available on Game Pass), and PlayStation 5. Additionally, a Deluxe Edition is rumored to be in the works, offering bonuses such as exclusive weapons and the infamous horse armor - a playful reference to the controversial 2006 DLC.
Rumors about the remaster have been circulating for quite some time, with the earliest leaks stemming from the Microsoft-FTC trial in 2023. Subsequent reports suggested that the game could be released imminently, with some even hinting at a potential shadow drop this month.
While no official announcement or reveal has been made yet, the wealth of leaked information suggests that The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is on the horizon and could be arriving soon. Fans of the series should keep an eye out for more updates as the situation develops.
