Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remake Could Potentially Launch Soon

There have been whispers about the potential remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for quite a while now. However, recent developments suggest that this could be more imminent than we thought.

The first whispers about it surfaced during the legal dispute between Microsoft and the FTC over Microsoft’s proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard. At that time, classified information about future, undisclosed projects was leaked, including a plan for an Oblivion Remaster, scheduled for release in the 2022 fiscal year.

In time, whispers circulated among sources inside the company and those leaking information indicated that the remaster initiative might have been expanded into a complete overhaul of The Elder Scrolls Oblivion, leading to a postponement of its release.

Back in January when Microsoft unveiled the latest Xbox Developer Direct, gaming enthusiasts eagerly anticipated catching a glimpse of the much-speculated remake project, as well as a possible revamp of the Gears of War Collection. Regrettably, neither was revealed during this event.

Today, a trusted source known as NateTheHate was inquired on the platform X about any recent updates concerning the remake of Oblivion. In response, this reliable leaker indicated that he has some news regarding the topic.

As a dedicated follower, I’m excitedly anticipating that the release might come earlier than initially projected, either this month or next, although I’m keeping my fingers crossed for more specifics about the revised launch date soon.

According to the gossip, it seems that we might expect an official declaration within this month or possibly in April.

A Full Remake Of Oblivion For Generations To Come

It had been speculated that the remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion might be in progress using Unreal Engine 5, with potential updates to game mechanics like refinements in user interface (HUD), stamina system, stealth, and battle dynamics.

It’s uncertain which systems will launch the remake of The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, but given Microsoft’s evolving industry stance and the original game’s multi-platform nature, it seems likely that apart from Xbox and PC, the PS5 and Nintendo Switch may also be part of the release lineup for this remake.

Initially, prior to its transfer to the yet-to-be-released Nintendo Switch 2, the upcoming Xbox and PlayStation systems, Amazon Alexa, and possibly smart fridges as well, will not have the game.

Bethesda continues to be busy creating The Elder Scrolls VI, a project that was initially unveiled in 2018. Following the release of Starfield in 2023, production on this title began. However, no updates have been provided regarding its potential future announcements.
