After months of swirling rumors and tantalizing leaks, Bethesda is poised to officially unveil the much-anticipated remaster of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The announcement is set for tomorrow at 11:00 am EST, and fans can tune in live on both YouTube and Twitch.
The official Bethesda Twitter/X account dropped a hint-laden post today, featuring a prominent "IV" and a background that unmistakably echoes iconic Oblivion artwork. While the post coyly avoids specifics, the visual cues leave little doubt about what's coming.
Speculation about an Oblivion remake has been rife for years. The buzz began in earnest with a 2020 leak from a Bethesda release schedule, uncovered during the FTC vs. Microsoft trial in 2023, which hinted at an Oblivion remaster slated for fiscal year 2022. Though the document's age and missed release window initially suggested the project might have been scrapped, fresh leaks in January of this year reignited the excitement. These leaks described a full-blown remake, a collaborative effort between Bethesda and support studio Virtuos. The rumors gained further traction last week when images purportedly from the remake surfaced on Virtuos' website.
If the recent leaks hold true, The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered will be available on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation platforms. Fans can look forward to not only a standard edition but also a Deluxe Edition, which will include the iconic horse armor.
Be sure to tune in tomorrow for what promises to be an exciting confirmation and more in-depth details on this long-awaited remaster.
