After months of swirling rumors and 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, and fans are buzzing with excitement.
In a tweet posted today, Bethesda's official account set the stage for the big reveal, scheduled for 8am PT/11am ET, which will be streamed live on both YouTube and Twitch. Although the specifics of the announcement remain under wraps, the prominent "IV" and the background, strikingly similar to iconic Oblivion artwork, heavily hint at what's to come.
The journey to this point has been filled with speculation and leaks. The earliest whispers of an Oblivion remaster surfaced in 2020, thanks to a leaked Bethesda release schedule from the FTC vs. Microsoft trial in 2023. That document suggested a remaster was planned for fiscal year 2022, but the information was old enough to cast doubt on its relevance. However, the rumors gained traction in January of this year when leaks pointed to a full remake being developed by Bethesda with assistance from Virtuos. The speculation reached a fever pitch last week when further leaks from Virtuos' website emerged, showcasing images of the remake in progress.
If these recent leaks hold true, fans can look forward to The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered launching on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. Additionally, a Deluxe Edition, complete with the iconic horse armor, is expected to be available alongside the standard version.
Don't miss out on the official announcement tomorrow. Tune in to get all the details confirmed and discover what else Bethesda has in store for this legendary title.
