After months of swirling rumors and tantalizing leaks, Bethesda is poised to make a long-awaited announcement about the remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The official Bethesda Twitter/X account has teased an event scheduled for tomorrow at 8am PT/11am ET, which will be live-streamed on both YouTube and Twitch.
While Bethesda has kept the specifics under wraps, the teaser image prominently featuring a large "IV" and a backdrop reminiscent of iconic Oblivion artwork leaves little doubt about the subject of the announcement. Fans have been buzzing about an Oblivion remake for what feels like an eternity, with whispers turning into concrete leaks in recent months.
The journey to this point began with a leaked 2020 Bethesda release schedule during the FTC vs. Microsoft trial in 2023, which hinted at an Oblivion remaster planned for fiscal year 2022. Although the document was outdated and the release window had passed, it sparked hope. That hope was reignited in January of this year when another leak suggested that Bethesda, in collaboration with support studio Virtuos, was working on a full-scale remake. The most recent leaks from Virtuos' website last week provided visual evidence of the remake in progress, all but confirming its existence.
If these latest leaks hold true, The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered is set to launch on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. 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 highly anticipated remake.
