The remake was apparently aiming for a summer launch but plans have changed (Bethesda)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There\u2019s still no official word on the Elder Scrolls<\/a> 4: Oblivion remake, but the newest rumours suggest a reveal is imminent ahead of an earlier than planned release.<\/p>\n

There has been chatter of Bethesda<\/a>\u2019s The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion getting a remake since 2023<\/a>, but it wasn\u2019t until the tail end of 2024 when those rumours started picking up steam<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While Microsoft didn\u2019t so much as acknowledge it during its Xbox showcase in January<\/a>, rumours suggested that the Oblivion remake is on track to launch later this year.<\/p>\n

According to the newest claims, that\u2019s still going to be the case, but Microsoft has apparently moved up its target release window, meaning we could see the Oblivion remake launch within the next couple of months.<\/p>\n

This originates from known insider Nate The Hate, who has previously asserted the Oblivion remake\u2019s existence. He\u2019s also a proven reliable source, having accurately leaked the date of the Nintendo Switch 2\u2019s reveal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Recently, when asked for information about the Oblivion remake on X<\/a>, Nate The Hate claimed the game was originally aiming for a June launch, but is now \u2018likely to be sooner\u2019 though he isn\u2019t sure exactly when that could be.<\/p>\n

VGC<\/a> has since corroborated this, adding that its sources have said the Oblivion remake could launch as early as April. If so, a formal announcement from Microsoft should be taking place within the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

What do we know about the Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remake?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s widely believed that The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remake is not being handled internally at Bethesda, but instead at Virtuos, the same studio co-developing the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 3 remake<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This has since been backed up a January report<\/a>, which alleged that details of the remake were accidentally shared by a former Virtuos employee on their website.<\/p>\n

Said report added that the remake is being built in Unreal Engine 5 and will introduce a number of gameplay overhauls. Examples include reworking blocking to be more akin to Soulslike games and a modified stamina system.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s safe to assume that any Oblivion remake will launch not just for Xbox Series X\/S, but also PlayStation 5 given Microsoft\u2019s multiplatform push. In fact, the company’s entire line-up of games for the rest of 2025 are multiplatform releases, with South Of Midnight<\/a> and the full release of early access game Towerborne being the only exceptions.<\/p>\n

It also makes sense for Microsoft to hand such a project off to an outside studio rather than let Bethesda handle it. After all, the studio is currently busy with The Elder Scrolls 6 (which isn\u2019t expected to arrive until 2028 at the earliest<\/a>) as well as a second DLC expansion for Starfield<\/a>.<\/p>\n
