After months of swirling rumors and tantalizing leaks, it seems Bethesda is poised to officially unveil the much-anticipated remaster of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The announcement is set to take place tomorrow at 8am PT/11am ET, and fans can catch the reveal live on both YouTube and Twitch.
The official Bethesda Twitter/X account dropped a teaser today, featuring a prominent "IV" against a backdrop that unmistakably echoes the iconic art from Oblivion. While the post didn't explicitly state what the announcement would entail, the visual cues leave little room for doubt.
Rumors of an Oblivion remake have been circulating for what feels like an eternity. The speculation intensified following a 2020 leak of Bethesda's release schedule during the FTC vs. Microsoft trial in 2023, which hinted at an Oblivion remaster planned for fiscal year 2022. Though the timeline had passed, suggesting the project might have been shelved, fresh leaks in January this year reignited the buzz. These leaks portrayed the project as a comprehensive remake, developed by Bethesda with assistance from Virtuos. The whispers grew louder last week when leaks from Virtuos' website surfaced, showcasing the remake in action.
If the latest leaks hold true, The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered is slated for release 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 to see Bethesda confirm these exciting developments and hopefully share more details about what to expect from this long-awaited remaster.
