After months of swirling rumors and tantalizing leaks, Bethesda is poised to make a long-awaited announcement about the remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The official Bethesda account took to Twitter/X today to unveil that a significant announcement will occur tomorrow at 8am PT/11am ET, broadcasted live on both YouTube and Twitch.
While the announcement's specifics remain under wraps, the teaser image featuring a prominent "IV" and a background reminiscent of iconic Oblivion artwork strongly hints at what's to come. The gaming community has been buzzing with anticipation for an Oblivion remake, fueled by a series of leaks over the years.
The first whispers of a potential remaster surfaced in 2020, thanks to a leaked Bethesda release schedule from the FTC vs. Microsoft trial in 2023, which suggested an Oblivion remaster was slated for fiscal year 2022. Although the document's age and missed release window initially cast doubt on the project's continuation, fresh leaks in January of this year reignited the speculation. These leaks described the project as a full-scale remake, developed by Bethesda with assistance from Virtuos. The excitement reached a fever pitch last week when further leaks from Virtuos' website emerged, showcasing the remake in action.
If these recent leaks hold true, The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered is set to launch on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. Fans can look forward to a Deluxe Edition, which will include the much-discussed horse armor, in addition to the standard version.
Be sure to tune in tomorrow for what promises to be a historic announcement, where Bethesda is expected to confirm these details and share more about what fans can expect from this highly anticipated remake.
