In a post on Twitter/X today, the official Bethesda account announced an announcement for tomorrow at 8am PT/11am ET across both YouTube and Twitch. While they didn’t specify exactly what the announcement would be, the big “IV” in the center of the image and the background that looks suspiciously like a well-known piece of official Oblivion art kiiiiiind of gives it away.
A remake of Oblivion has been rumored for it seems like forever now, with rumors turning to leaks in more recent weeks. We first learned it might be in the works thanks to a 2020 Bethesda release schedule that leaked as part of the FTC vs. Microsoft trial in 2023, which said an Oblivion remaster was planned for fiscal year 2022. At the time, the document was old enough (and the release window long past) that it was possible to write this off as a canceled project. But then, in January of this year, another leak dropped, this time painting the remaster as a full-blown remake being made by Bethesda alongside support studio Virtuos. And just last week, those leaks were all-but-confirmed when even more leaks, this time from Virtuos’ website, showed up, including images of the remake in action.
If the leaks from last week remain true, The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered will launch on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation, and will include a Deluxe Edition release with horse armor alongside the basic version.
Tune in tomorrow to, hopefully, hear all this confirmed and more details besides.
