After months of swirling rumors and leaks, it appears Bethesda is on the verge of officially unveiling the much-anticipated remaster of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The announcement is slated for tomorrow at 11:00 am EST, and will be broadcasted live on both YouTube and Twitch.
Bethesda's official Twitter/X account dropped the news today, hinting at the reveal with a striking image featuring a prominent "IV" and a background reminiscent of iconic Oblivion artwork. While the exact nature of the announcement remains under wraps, the visual clues strongly suggest that fans can finally look forward to concrete details about the Oblivion remaster.
The buzz around an Oblivion remake has been building for years. Initial whispers turned into solid leaks starting with a 2020 Bethesda release schedule that surfaced during the FTC vs. Microsoft trial in 2023. This document hinted at an Oblivion remaster targeted for fiscal year 2022, though its age and the missed release window left room for doubt about its cancellation. However, the speculation gained momentum in January of this year when leaks described the project as a comprehensive remake, developed by Bethesda with assistance from Virtuos. The rumors reached a fever pitch just last week when further leaks from Virtuos' website emerged, showcasing images of the remake in development.
Should these latest leaks hold true, The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered is set to launch across PC, Xbox, and PlayStation platforms. Fans can also expect a Deluxe Edition, which will include the infamous horse armor, in addition to the standard version.
Be sure to tune in tomorrow for what promises to be an exciting confirmation and more detailed insights into this highly awaited remaster.
