Rumored Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remake Details Emerge
Recent leaks suggest a full-scale Unreal Engine 5 remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, potentially launching in June 2025, developed by Virtuos. While unconfirmed by Bethesda or Microsoft, these leaks paint a picture of a significantly upgraded experience.
The most intriguing detail revolves around the combat system. While not a Soulslike game itself, the remake reportedly incorporates elements from the Soulslike genre, particularly in its blocking mechanics. This suggests a more deliberate and strategic combat encounter.
Further leaks indicate improvements beyond the combat system. Upgrades are rumored for stealth mechanics, stamina management, the heads-up display (HUD), hit reactions, and archery. These enhancements point to a more refined and modern gameplay experience.
The source of this information is a website reportedly belonging to a former Virtuos employee, as reported by MP1st. While this adds a layer of intrigue, it's crucial to remember that this remains unverified information.
Speculation regarding a reveal at the January 23rd Xbox Developer Direct has been largely dismissed by various leakers. While the event will showcase Doom: The Dark Ages, South of Midnight, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and an undisclosed surprise title, the Oblivion remake is not expected to be among them. Fans will likely need to wait for official confirmation from Bethesda or Microsoft.
