Exciting news has emerged for fans of The Elder Scrolls series, as more details about the long-rumored relaunch of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion have surfaced due to a leak on developer Virtuos' website. The leak includes screenshots and images showcasing The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, with significant enhancements in models, textures, and overall visual fidelity. The images were first discovered and shared across various forums such as ResetEra and Reddit, sparking a wave of excitement and speculation.
Following the leak, the Virtuos website became nearly inaccessible, with most pages outside the main landing page now down. Despite the swift removal of the content, numerous screenshots and details had already spread across the internet. According to VGC, the remastered game, officially titled The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, is being developed through a collaboration between Virtuos and Bethesda's studios in Dallas and Rockville.
Virtuos is well-known for its work on game remasters, having contributed to projects like The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition. The leaked information from the site indicates that The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered will be available on PC, Xbox Series X|S (including Game Pass), and PlayStation 5. Additionally, a Deluxe Edition is reportedly in the works, featuring exclusive bonuses such as unique weapons and horse armor—a playful reference to the contentious 2006 DLC.
Rumors of a remaster for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion have been circulating for quite some time, with initial leaks stemming from documents related to the Microsoft-FTC trial in 2023. Subsequent reports have consistently suggested that a remaster was imminent, with some recent speculation even hinting at a potential shadow-drop within this month.
While no official statement or reveal has been made as of yet, the wealth of information now public strongly indicates that The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is on the horizon and could be released very soon. Fans eagerly await further updates and an official announcement from Bethesda and Virtuos.
