After months of swirling rumors and tantalizing leaks, it appears that 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 post on X (formerly Twitter), Bethesda teased the event with an image prominently featuring a large "IV" and a background that unmistakably echoes iconic art from Oblivion. While the post didn't explicitly state the nature of the announcement, the visual cues strongly suggest that the long-awaited remaster is about to become a reality.
Speculation about an Oblivion remake has been rampant for years, fueled by a series of leaks. The first hint came from a 2020 Bethesda release schedule that surfaced during the FTC vs. Microsoft trial in 2023, indicating a planned remaster for fiscal year 2022. Although the document's age and missed release window initially cast doubt on the project's status, subsequent leaks in January of this year painted a clearer picture of a full-blown remake being developed by Bethesda with assistance from Virtuos. The latest leaks, just last week from Virtuos' website, included images of the remake in progress, further solidifying the rumors.
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 that includes the iconic horse armor, in addition to the standard version.
Be sure to tune in tomorrow for what promises to be an exciting confirmation and more detailed insights into this eagerly awaited remaster.
