Overview of Upcoming The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remake
- A recent leak suggests an official announcement for The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remake could take place in January 2025.
- The announcement is speculated to be featured during an Xbox Direct event.
- Earlier in 2023, rumors of an Unreal Engine 5 remake circulated, but were not confirmed by Bethesda.
Excitement is brewing among gamers as a new leak points to a potential announcement regarding the highly anticipated The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remake. This news might come as a refreshing start to 2025 for gaming enthusiasts. Rumors have surrounded the remake for several years, with some details emerging during Microsoft’s acquisition of Blizzard. Initially, it was reported that the remake would launch in 2022; however, those plans never materialized. More recently, a 2023 leak hinted at development using Unreal Engine 5, but this too has yet to see any formal acknowledgment from the developers.
Currently, the franchise’s most recent title, The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, continues to attract players despite its release over a decade ago in 2011. While fans eagerly await The Elder Scrolls 6, which is projected for a 2026 release or later, the buzz surrounding a potential Oblivion remake could provide some much-needed excitement during this extended wait.
A YouTube channel, eXtas1s, has shared a video indicating that an official announcement for the Oblivion remake might be revealed as soon as January 2025, likely coinciding with an Xbox Direct event. It’s important to distinguish this potential release from the fan-driven project known as Skyblivion, which is a passion project by fans and not related to the official remake. If the leak is accurate, fans on both PC and console platforms could very well be in for a treat in 2025.

Social media reactions to the recent leak regarding the Oblivion remake have been predominantly optimistic. However, some fans have expressed a desire for a remake of Morrowind before Oblivion. The timing of the potential Oblivion release in 2025, alongside titles like Fable, Avowed, and The Outer Worlds 2, has also sparked excitement in the gaming community. Although Oblivion debuted 17 years ago, it remains a treasured classic, revered for its nostalgic connections to earlier series installments.
Originally launched in 2006, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion is widely recognized as the fourth main entry in the immensely popular franchise, succeeding 2002’s Morrowind. Players embark on a journey through the province of Cyrodiil, combating the Mythic Dawn cult intent on unleashing hellish dangers. The game has fostered a vibrant modding community, which has significantly enhanced the gameplay with UI improvements, new creatures, and quests, ensuring its enduring appeal due to its depth, scale, and player-driven choices.
