After months of swirling rumors and tantalizing leaks, Bethesda is on the brink of officially unveiling the much-anticipated remake 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.
Bethesda dropped a hint-laden post on Twitter/X today, featuring a prominent "IV" and a background eerily reminiscent of iconic Oblivion artwork, all but confirming what's coming. The gaming community has been buzzing about an Oblivion remake for what feels like an eternity, with the whispers growing louder and more concrete in recent times.
The first whispers of this project surfaced in 2020, thanks to a leaked Bethesda release schedule from the FTC vs. Microsoft trial in 2023, which hinted at an Oblivion remaster slated for fiscal year 2022. Although the document's age and missed release window initially cast doubt on the project's status, fresh leaks in January of this year painted a clearer picture: Bethesda, with the help of Virtuos, was indeed working on a full-blown remake. The leaks were further solidified just last week when images purportedly from Virtuos' website showcased the remake in progress.
If these recent leaks hold true, fans can look forward to The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered hitting PC, Xbox, and PlayStation platforms. Additionally, a Deluxe Edition is rumored to be in the works, complete with the iconic horse armor alongside the standard release.
Mark your calendars for tomorrow's announcement, where Bethesda is expected to confirm these exciting details and perhaps reveal even more about what to expect from this long-awaited revival of a classic.
