After months of swirling rumors and tantalizing leaks, it seems Bethesda is on the brink of officially unveiling the much-anticipated remaster of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The announcement is slated for tomorrow at 11:00 am EST, and fans can catch the reveal live on both YouTube and Twitch.
In a recent tweet from the official Bethesda account, the company teased the upcoming announcement with an image prominently featuring the number "IV" and a background that strikingly resembles iconic art from Oblivion. While Bethesda kept the details under wraps, the hints are unmistakable for fans eagerly awaiting news on the remaster.
Rumors of an Oblivion remake have been circulating for what feels like an eternity. The first whispers emerged following a leaked Bethesda release schedule from 2020, part of the FTC vs. Microsoft trial in 2023, which suggested an Oblivion remaster was targeted for fiscal year 2022. Although the timeline had passed, dismissing it as a canceled project seemed premature. Fast forward to January of this year, and another leak surfaced, this time indicating a comprehensive remake developed by Bethesda with assistance from Virtuos. The speculation reached a fever pitch last week when additional leaks from Virtuos' website showcased images of the remake in progress.
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 iconic horse armor, in addition to the standard version.
Be sure to tune in tomorrow for what promises to be the official confirmation of these exciting developments and more detailed insights into what the remaster will bring to the beloved classic.
