After months of swirling rumors and tantalizing leaks, it appears that Bethesda is on the brink of officially unveiling its highly anticipated remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The announcement is slated for tomorrow at 11:00 am EST, and fans can catch the reveal live on both YouTube and Twitch.
Bethesda took to Twitter/X to share the news, posting an image featuring a prominent "IV" and a background that strikingly resembles a well-known piece of official Oblivion artwork, leaving little room for doubt about what's coming.
Speculation about an Oblivion remake has been rampant for what feels like an eternity. The first whispers surfaced with a 2020 Bethesda release schedule leak during the FTC vs. Microsoft trial in 2023, hinting at an Oblivion remaster slated for fiscal year 2022. Although that window has long passed, potentially suggesting a canceled project, more recent leaks breathed new life into the rumors. In January of this year, additional leaks suggested that Bethesda, with assistance from Virtuos, was working on a full-blown remake. The speculation reached a fever pitch last week when leaks from Virtuos' website surfaced, showcasing images of the remake in action.
If these recent leaks hold true, fans can look forward to The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered launching on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. A Deluxe Edition is also rumored, featuring the iconic horse armor alongside the standard version.
Be sure to tune in tomorrow for what promises to be an exciting confirmation and further details on this eagerly awaited remake.
