After months of swirling rumors and tantalizing leaks, it appears that Bethesda is on the brink of officially unveiling the much-anticipated remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The announcement is set to be made tomorrow, generating excitement among fans and gamers worldwide.
Bethesda took to Twitter/X to share the news, scheduling the big reveal for tomorrow at 8am PT/11am ET. The announcement will be streamed live on both YouTube and Twitch. While the post did not explicitly state what the announcement entails, the prominent "IV" displayed in the center of the teaser image, combined with a background reminiscent of iconic Oblivion artwork, strongly hints at what's coming.
The buzz around an Oblivion remake has been building for what feels like an eternity. Initial whispers of the project surfaced in 2020, following a leaked Bethesda release schedule during the FTC vs. Microsoft trial in 2023, which mentioned a remaster planned for fiscal year 2022. Although the document's age and missed release window initially suggested the project might have been abandoned, fresh leaks in January of this year reignited the speculation, describing the project as a comprehensive remake developed by Bethesda with assistance from Virtuos. The rumors gained even more credibility last week when leaks from Virtuos' website surfaced, showcasing images of the remake in progress.
If the latest leaks hold true, The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered is poised to launch on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. Fans can look forward to a Deluxe Edition that includes the iconic horse armor, in addition to the standard version.
Don't miss out on the excitement! Tune in tomorrow to see Bethesda confirm these exciting developments and hopefully reveal more details about what's in store for fans of this beloved classic.
