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 for tomorrow at 11:00 am EST, and fans can catch the reveal live on both YouTube and Twitch.
In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Bethesda teased the event with an image prominently featuring a large "IV" and a background that bears a striking resemblance to iconic art from the original Oblivion game. Although the company kept the specifics under wraps, the visual hints strongly suggest that the remaster is the star of the show.
The buzz around an Oblivion remake has been building for years. Initial whispers of its development surfaced in 2020, thanks to a leaked Bethesda release schedule from the FTC vs. Microsoft trial in 2023, which hinted at a remaster planned for fiscal year 2022. While the timeline in the document had passed, casting doubt on the project's status, more recent leaks reignited the speculation. In January of this year, information emerged suggesting that Bethesda, with assistance from Virtuos, was crafting a full-blown remake. The excitement reached a fever pitch last week when leaks from Virtuos' website showcased images of the remake in progress, seemingly confirming the project's existence.
If these latest leaks hold true, The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered is slated for release on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. Additionally, fans can look forward to a Deluxe Edition, which will include the much-memed horse armor alongside the standard version.
Be sure to tune in tomorrow for what promises to be a thrilling confirmation and further details on this long-awaited remaster.
