After months of swirling rumors and tantalizing leaks, it seems Bethesda is poised to officially unveil the much-anticipated remaster of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The announcement is scheduled for tomorrow at 11:00 am EST, and fans can catch the reveal on both YouTube and Twitch.
The official Bethesda Twitter/X account dropped a hint-filled post today, featuring a prominent "IV" and a background strikingly reminiscent of classic Oblivion artwork. Though the announcement's specifics remain under wraps, these visual cues strongly suggest that the long-awaited remaster is about to become a reality.
Speculation about an Oblivion remake has been rampant for years, fueled by a series of leaks. The first whispers emerged from a 2020 Bethesda release schedule that surfaced during the FTC vs. Microsoft trial in 2023, which hinted at an Oblivion remaster slated for fiscal year 2022. Despite the document's age and the missed release window, hopes were reignited in January of this year with another leak. This time, it pointed to a full-blown remake being developed by Bethesda in collaboration with support studio Virtuos. The rumors gained even more credibility last week when leaks from Virtuos' website showcased images of the remake in progress.
Should these recent leaks hold true, The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered is set to launch on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. Fans can look forward to both a standard edition and 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 further details on this eagerly awaited release.
