New Evidence of Rumored Elder Scrolls 4 Remake Surfaces

Oblivion Remake Hints Emerge: Unreal Engine 5 and a Potential 2025 Reveal

A developer's LinkedIn profile strongly suggests an Oblivion remake is underway, fueling anticipation among fans. Rumors of an Oblivion remake or remaster have circulated for years, with recent leaks adding to the speculation. A 2023 rumor even suggested a 2024 or 2025 release.

Xbox insider Jez Corden further fueled the fire in late December 2024, predicting a reveal during a January 2025 Xbox Developer Direct. While unconfirmed, previous Developer Directs in January 2023 and 2024 make this a plausible scenario. This latest LinkedIn profile adds significant weight to the existing rumors.

A Technical Art Director at Virtuos, the studio reportedly working on the project, lists an "unannounced Unreal Engine 5 remake for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S" among their credits. While not explicitly named, the context strongly points to Oblivion, with Unreal Engine 5 suggesting a full remake rather than a simple remaster. Separately, plans for a Fallout 3 remaster surfaced in late 2023, though its current status remains unclear.

LinkedIn Profile Bolsters Remake Speculation

Released in 2006, Oblivion, the sequel to 2002's Morrowind, garnered critical acclaim for its expansive world, visuals, and soundtrack. Since 2012, the dedicated Skyblivion modding community has been working to recreate Oblivion within Skyrim's engine. A recent update hinted at a potential 2025 release for this ambitious project.

The future of the Elder Scrolls franchise remains somewhat shrouded in mystery. The sole trailer for Elder Scrolls 6 debuted in 2018. Bethesda Game Studios has confirmed it as their next major project following Starfield, with director Todd Howard suggesting a release timeframe of "15 to 17 years after Skyrim." While a concrete release date is still absent, fans are hopeful for a new trailer before the end of 2025. The possibility of an Oblivion remake adds another layer of excitement to the anticipation surrounding the next Elder Scrolls installment.
