After months of swirling rumors and tantalizing leaks, it appears that Bethesda is on the brink 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 fans can tune in via both YouTube and Twitch to catch all the details live.
In a recent tweet from the official Bethesda account, the excitement was palpable as they teased the reveal with an image prominently featuring the Roman numeral "IV" against a backdrop reminiscent of iconic Oblivion artwork. While the announcement remains shrouded in mystery, the clues seem to point unmistakably toward the beloved RPG.
Rumors of an Oblivion remake have been circulating for what feels like an eternity. The initial whispers turned into credible leaks, beginning with a 2020 Bethesda release schedule that surfaced during the FTC vs. Microsoft trial in 2023. This document suggested a remaster was in the pipeline for fiscal year 2022, though its age and missed window cast doubt on its validity at the time. Fast forward to January of this year, and another leak emerged, this time describing the project as a full-fledged remake, a collaborative effort between Bethesda and support studio Virtuos. The rumors gained even more traction just last week when leaks from Virtuos' website unveiled images of the remake in progress, all but confirming the project's existence.
Should the latest leaks hold true, The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered is poised to launch on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation platforms. Enthusiasts can look forward to not only the standard version but also a Deluxe Edition that includes the much-discussed horse armor.
Be sure to join the live stream tomorrow to witness the official confirmation and glean more exciting details about this eagerly awaited remaster.
