After months of swirling rumors and tantalizing leaks, it appears that Bethesda is poised to officially unveil the remaster of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion tomorrow. The excitement is palpable as fans eagerly await confirmation of what could be one of the most anticipated remakes in recent gaming history.
In a recent post on Twitter/X, the official Bethesda account set the stage for a major announcement scheduled for tomorrow at 8am PT/11am ET. The announcement will be broadcast live across both YouTube and Twitch, heightening anticipation. While the specifics of the announcement remain under wraps, the prominent "IV" and the background imagery, strikingly similar to iconic Oblivion art, strongly suggest that the long-awaited remaster is indeed the focus.
Rumors of an Oblivion remake have been circulating for what feels like an eternity. The initial whispers turned into solid leaks over the past few weeks. The journey began with a leaked 2020 Bethesda release schedule during 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 viability, subsequent leaks breathed new life into the speculation. In January of this year, another leak emerged, describing the project as a comprehensive remake developed by Bethesda in collaboration with Virtuos. The most recent leaks, just last week, from Virtuos' website, included images showcasing the remake in progress, all but confirming the project's existence.
If these latest leaks hold true, The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered is set to launch on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. Fans can look forward to not only the standard version but also a Deluxe Edition, which will include the iconic horse armor.
Be sure to tune in tomorrow for what promises to be a thrilling confirmation and more detailed insights into this eagerly awaited remaster.
