After months of swirling rumors and tantalizing leaks, it appears that Bethesda is on the verge of officially unveiling its highly anticipated remaster of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The announcement is set to be made tomorrow at 8am PT/11am ET, and fans can catch the reveal live on both YouTube and Twitch.
The official Bethesda Twitter account dropped the news today, accompanied by an image that prominently features a large "IV" and a background that unmistakably echoes iconic artwork from Oblivion. Although the announcement's specifics remain under wraps, the visual hints strongly suggest that the long-awaited remaster is finally becoming a reality.
Speculation about an Oblivion remake has been rampant for years, gaining momentum with a series of leaks. The first hint came from a leaked 2020 Bethesda release schedule during the FTC vs. Microsoft trial in 2023, which indicated that an Oblivion remaster was slated for fiscal year 2022. Though the document's age and the missed release window initially suggested the project might have been scrapped, subsequent leaks breathed new life into the rumors. In January of this year, reports surfaced of a full-blown remake in development, with Bethesda collaborating with support studio Virtuos. The whispers reached a fever pitch just last week when leaks from Virtuos' website emerged, showcasing the remake in action.
If these recent leaks hold true, fans can expect The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered to launch on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation platforms. Additionally, a Deluxe Edition is rumored to be available, featuring the infamous horse armor alongside the standard version.
Be sure to tune in tomorrow for what promises to be an exciting confirmation and more detailed insights into this eagerly awaited remaster.
