Exciting news has emerged for fans of The Elder Scrolls series, as a leak from developer Virtuos' website has unveiled more details about the long-rumored relaunch of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The leaked images and screenshots, which have been widely shared on platforms like ResetEra and Reddit, showcase a remastered version of the beloved game, highlighting significant improvements in models, details, and overall visual fidelity.
The leak was brought to light by Wario64 on Twitter, who shared the images and a link to the original source. However, since the leak, Virtuos' website has become largely inaccessible, with only the main landing page remaining operational. Despite the quick response to remove the content, the internet has already been flooded with the leaked information and visuals.
According to VGC, the remastered game, officially titled The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, is a joint effort between Virtuos and Bethesda's studios in Dallas and Rockville. Virtuos, known for their work on remasters such as The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition, is bringing their expertise to this project.
The remaster is set to launch on PC, Xbox Series X|S (with availability on Game Pass), and PlayStation 5. Additionally, a Deluxe Edition is expected to be available, offering exclusive bonuses such as special weapons and horse armor, playfully referencing the infamous 2006 DLC.
Rumors of an Oblivion remaster have been circulating since the Microsoft-FTC trial leaks in 2023, with subsequent reports suggesting a possible shadow-drop release as early as this month. While no official announcement has been made yet, the substantial amount of information that has surfaced indicates that The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is likely to be released soon.
