Exciting news for fans of the legendary RPG series, as more details have emerged about the long-rumored relaunch of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, now confirmed to be titled The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. A leak on developer Virtuos' website unveiled screenshots and images that showcase a significant upgrade in visual quality, including enhanced models, textures, and overall fidelity.
The leak was initially discovered and rapidly shared across gaming communities such as ResetEra and Reddit. The images, which were briefly available on Virtuos' site, have since been removed, making the developer's website nearly inaccessible beyond its main page. However, the internet has done its job, and these tantalizing glimpses of the remaster have spread far and wide.

According to VGC, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is a joint effort between Virtuos and Bethesda's studios in Dallas and Rockville. Virtuos, known for its work on remasters like The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition, is bringing its expertise to this project.
The remaster is slated for release on PC, Xbox Series X|S (with availability on Game Pass), and PlayStation 5. Additionally, a Deluxe Edition is rumored, promising exclusive in-game bonuses such as unique weapons and the now-iconic horse armor, a playful reference to the controversial 2006 DLC.
Rumors of an Oblivion remaster have been circulating since leaked documents from the Microsoft-FTC trial in 2023. Recent reports have suggested that the game might even shadow-drop as soon as this month, though no official announcement has been made at the time of writing.
With these leaks and widespread discussions, it appears that The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is on the horizon, promising to bring a beloved classic back to life with modern enhancements. Stay tuned for more official updates and prepare to revisit the world of Cyrodiil in stunning detail.
