The announcement will be broadcast live on both YouTube and Twitch, and while the exact content of the reveal remains under wraps, the prominent "IV" and the backdrop featuring art reminiscent of Oblivion strongly suggest what fans have been eagerly awaiting.
Rumors of an Oblivion remake have been circulating for years, but recent leaks have fueled the excitement. Initially, a 2020 Bethesda release schedule leak during the FTC vs. Microsoft trial in 2023 hinted at an Oblivion remaster planned for fiscal year 2022. Although that window passed without a release, the possibility of the project being canceled seemed plausible. However, a January leak this year shifted the narrative, describing the project as a comprehensive remake developed by Bethesda with assistance from Virtuos. The latest leaks from Virtuos' website last week, which included images of the game in development, have almost confirmed these rumors.
If these leaks hold true, The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered is expected to launch on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation platforms. Fans can look forward to a Deluxe Edition that includes the iconic horse armor, in addition to the standard version.
Be sure to tune in tomorrow for what promises to be a thrilling confirmation and further details on this highly anticipated remaster.
