After months of swirling rumors and tantalizing leaks, it seems that Bethesda is on the brink of officially unveiling their much-anticipated remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The excitement is palpable as Bethesda has scheduled a major announcement for tomorrow at 8am PT/11am ET, which will be broadcasted live on both YouTube and Twitch.
The official Bethesda Twitter account dropped a teaser today, featuring a prominent "IV" set against a backdrop that unmistakably echoes the iconic art from Oblivion. While the announcement's specifics remain under wraps, the visual clues strongly suggest that the long-awaited remake is about to become a reality.
Speculation about an Oblivion remake has been rife for years, fueled by a series of leaks. The first hint came from a leaked Bethesda release schedule during the FTC vs. Microsoft trial in 2023, which mentioned an Oblivion remaster targeted for fiscal year 2022. Although the timeline had passed, making it seem like a potentially abandoned project, newer leaks reignited the buzz. In January of this year, reports surfaced about a full-blown remake in development by Bethesda, with assistance from Virtuos. The most recent leaks last week, originating from Virtuos' website, included images that seemingly confirmed 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 just a standard edition but also a Deluxe Edition, complete with the nostalgic addition of horse armor.
Be sure to tune in tomorrow for what promises to be the official confirmation of this exciting project, along with further details that will surely delight fans of the beloved Elder Scrolls series.
