In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Bethesda dropped a bombshell by announcing an upcoming announcement set for tomorrow at 8am PT/11am ET, which will be broadcasted on both YouTube and Twitch. Though the post kept the details under wraps, the conspicuous "IV" centered in the teaser image, combined with a background that bears a striking resemblance to iconic Oblivion artwork, leaves little doubt about the subject of the announcement.
Rumors of an Oblivion remake have been circulating for what feels like an eternity, with whispers escalating into leaks in recent weeks. The initial hint of its development surfaced from a leaked 2020 Bethesda release schedule during the FTC vs. Microsoft trial in 2023, which hinted at an Oblivion remaster targeted for fiscal year 2022. Although the document's age and the missed release window suggested the project might have been scrapped, a fresh leak in January of this year reignited hopes by describing the project as a full-scale remake, a collaborative effort between Bethesda and support studio Virtuos. The leaks reached a crescendo just last week when images purportedly from Virtuos' website surfaced, showcasing the remake in action.
Should these leaks hold true, The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered is poised to launch on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation platforms. Fans can anticipate not only the standard edition but also a Deluxe Edition, complete with the much-discussed horse armor.
Be sure to tune in tomorrow for what promises to be a momentous confirmation and to glean more exciting details about this highly anticipated remake.
