Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remake release date speculation & latest news
Bethesda has been getting a lot of attention of late due to the upcoming epic space RPG Starfield, and rightly so: It's an exciting title — the first new IP from Bethesda in decades — and it looks to take the open-world genre to new heights (literally).
But now something else is surfacing in Bethesda-land, and it's not focused on the stars — but back in the past.
Fans have been dying for an Oblivion remake for a long time. Some even began to make one themselves using the Skyrim engine. Now, however, it looks like an official remake of the 2006 classic is on the cards.
It's been over 10 years since Skyrim dropped and, while fans would undoubtedly prefer a whole new Elder Scrolls, a return to Oblivion is pretty exciting.
So what exactly are the rumours, and is there anything to them? We'll have an explore below!
As we're still in the «surfacing rumours» stage at the moment, it's a bit early to have any knowledge of dates. However, looking at the source of the leaks, a year's time has been suggested.
The leak comes from a Reddit user — on the r/GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit — who claims to be an ex-employee at Virtuos (a studio specialising in remakes and remasters).
The user said that a remake of Oblivion was in development, with the codename «Altar», and might see the light of day in late 2024 or early 2025.
Of course, we can't confirm any of this. The post has since been taken down, but one of the moderators on the subreddit seems to have confirmed the the original poster really was an ex-employer at Virtuos. So who knows?
