After months of speculation and leaks, Bethesda is set to officially unveil the remaster of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion tomorrow. The announcement will be broadcast live at 11:00 am EST on both YouTube and Twitch, as shared by the official Bethesda Twitter account.
While the exact nature of the announcement was not explicitly stated, the prominent "IV" and the background resembling iconic Oblivion artwork strongly suggest that the long-rumored remaster is finally coming to fruition. The buzz around an Oblivion remake has been building for years, with significant leaks emerging in recent times. Initially, a 2020 Bethesda release schedule, leaked during the FTC vs. Microsoft trial in 2023, hinted at an Oblivion remaster planned for fiscal year 2022. Although that window passed, the project seemed to have been revived, as a January leak this year indicated a full-blown remake developed by Bethesda with assistance from Virtuos. The most recent leaks from Virtuos' website last week provided visual evidence of the remake, further solidifying the rumors.
If these leaks hold true, The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered is expected to launch on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation platforms. Fans can also look forward to a Deluxe Edition, which will include the infamous horse armor alongside the standard version.
Be sure to tune in tomorrow for the official confirmation and additional details on this highly anticipated release.
