Update March 4, 2025: According to reliable leaks, Bethesda may drop the obema of Oblivion in April.
Natthehate Tweet The statement that the current plans relate to the disclosure and release of the unknown remake Stred Scrolls 4: Oblivion will take place in April with a minimal gap between them, and the decrease in shadow is “possible”.
Andy Robinson from VGC broke the claim in tweet His own.
Neither Bethesda nor Microsoft’s parent company issued a comment.
Original story March 3, 2025: Apparently, Bethesda is to announce Elder Scrolls 4: Remake Oblivion in the coming weeks and releasing it shortly after.
Natethehate, who thoroughly revealed the date of the announcement of Nintendo Switch 2, Tweet say that the remake of Oblivion will be disclosed this month or next month, which VGC confirmed.
The release window is slightly more blurred. Natethehate probably said before June, but VGC said that he could leave after April.
In January MP1ST Apparently, accidentally published details of the remake of Oblivion were reported by a former employee at Virtuos Studio Game Support Studio. Microsoft refused to comment when he contacted Ign.
According to MP1ST, Wirtuos has converted Bethesda’s beloved game, an open world game using Unreal Engine 5, which suggests a significant modification, not a simpler remaster. Changes in the game have also been allegedly detailed, including corrections to endurance, trick, blocking, archery, hit reaction and heads-up (HUD) display.
As reported by MP1ST, blocking has changed with action games and soul, because the original system was too “boring” and “frustrating”. The insidious icons are now emphasized, and the calculations of the damage have been renovated. Similar exhaustion of the duration that is exhausted is supposedly more complex to liberate. And Hud has been redesigned to facilitate understanding. Elsewhere, impacts were added to make a reaction, and apparently archery was modernized both from the perspective of the first and third person.
The word remaster of oblivion appeared in 2023 When documents published as part of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) compared to Microsoft Trial regarding the purchase of Activision Blizzard revealed a number of unannounced Bethesda games in the coming years. The list, submitted in July 2020, before buying Microsoft in March 2021, home company Bethesda Zenimax Media, contained the following:
Financial year 2022:
- Remaster Oblivion
- Indiana Jones game
Financial year 2023
- Doom year zero and dlc
- Kestrel project
- Platinum project
Financial year 2024
- Elder Scrolls 6
- Kestrel project: expansion
- Licensed IP game
- Fallout 3 remaster
- Ghostene: continuation of Tokyo
- Dishonered 3
- Doom year zero dlc
Of course, many of these games have been delayed or simply canceled. Doom year zero is now Doom: The Dark Ages and Set for the premiere in May. Indiana Jones and The Great Circle did not start only in December 2024, and The Elder Scrolls 6 did not approach the budget year 2024.
However, we are afraid that the remaster Obaster is now. And it is worth noting that he was called Remaster In the Microsoft document. Perhaps the scope of the project has changed, and Bethesda is enormous in the processing. We will find out when the company will finally present what has become one of the worst secret secrets in all video games.
Meanwhile, what platforms do the remake of Oblivion initiate? Microsoft is now entirely in multifunctional versionsas to Nintendo Switch 2 is waiting on the wingsOblivion can open the gate to more than just PC, Xbox and PlayStation players. If Switch 2 appears around June, maybe Oblivion will create a console starting window.
