After months of swirling rumors and tantalizing leaks, Bethesda is on the verge of officially unveiling the much-anticipated remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The announcement is scheduled for tomorrow at 11:00 am EST, and fans can catch the reveal live on both YouTube and Twitch.
Bethesda teased the announcement on their official Twitter/X account, hinting at the reveal with an image prominently featuring a large "IV" and a background that unmistakably echoes iconic art from Oblivion. While the post doesn't explicitly state what the announcement will be, the clues are hard to ignore.
The buzz around an Oblivion remake has been building for years. Initial whispers of its development surfaced in 2020 from a leaked Bethesda release schedule during the FTC vs. Microsoft trial in 2023, which suggested an Oblivion remaster was slated for fiscal year 2022. Although the timeline had passed, making it seem like a potentially abandoned project, fresh leaks emerged in January of this year, describing it as a comprehensive remake developed in collaboration with Virtuos. The speculation reached a fever pitch last week when further leaks from Virtuos' website emerged, showcasing 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 a Deluxe Edition, which will include the infamous horse armor, in addition to the standard version.
Be sure to tune in tomorrow for what promises to be the official confirmation and further details on this eagerly awaited remake.
