After months of swirling rumors and tantalizing leaks, it seems Bethesda is on the verge of making 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 8 am PT/11 am ET, which will be streamed live on both YouTube and Twitch.
While the post itself is coy about the specifics, the accompanying image leaves little to the imagination. A prominent "IV" and a background that closely resembles iconic art from Oblivion hint strongly at what fans have been eagerly anticipating.
The buzz around an Oblivion remake has been building for years, initially sparked by a leaked 2020 Bethesda release schedule during the FTC vs. Microsoft trial in 2023. That document suggested a remaster was slated for fiscal year 2022, but given its age and the passed deadline, many dismissed it as a scrapped plan. However, the rumors reignited in January of this year with a new leak, revealing that Bethesda, with help from support studio Virtuos, was working on a full-blown remake. The speculation reached a fever pitch just last week when additional leaks from Virtuos' website surfaced, featuring images of the remake in development.
Assuming these latest leaks hold true, The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered is poised to launch on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation platforms. Fans can also look forward to a Deluxe Edition, which will include the beloved (and often meme-ified) horse armor alongside the standard version.
Be sure to tune in tomorrow for what promises to be the official confirmation and further details on this highly anticipated remake.
