After a prolonged period of anticipation filled with rumors and unofficial leaks regarding an Unreal Engine 5 remake of “The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion,”Bethesda Softworks has officially confirmed the game’s development. This announcement follows a recent leak showcasing promotional images, including compelling screenshots and box art, which not only affirmed Virtuos as the studio responsible for the project but also hinted at a Deluxe Edition that may include downloadable content (DLC) reminiscent of the original game.
Following the buzz, Bethesda Softworks took to Twitter to acknowledge “Oblivion Remastered.” The tweet has stirred excitement as it promises that fans can expect another significant reveal tomorrow, set for April 22 at 11:00 am EST.
Potential Release or Announcement Imminent for Oblivion Remastered
Numerous leaks and speculations, particularly from industry insider Jeff Grubb, suggest that “Oblivion Remastered”may be released unexpectedly this April (2025). The current consensus among various insiders indicates that the game could become available between April 21 and 27, 2025.
This marks Bethesda’s first official acknowledgment of the Unreal Engine 5 remake, although the tweet remains somewhat ambiguous—providing “Tomorrow”as the only hint, which leaves room for speculation about whether a teaser trailer will be unveiled or if the game itself might launch immediately.
Additionally, a recent Imgur album leak from Virtuos hints that players can expect it to be available on day one for Game Pass. However, those wishing to experience expansions, particularly the beloved “Knights of the Nine”and “Shivering Isles,”will likely need to purchase them separately.
As we await the upcoming announcement at 11:00 am EST (8:00 am PST), it’s unclear whether the game will go live at that time or if we will merely receive a confirmed release date. In the meantime, readers can explore a comprehensive timeline detailing the rumors and leaks surrounding the Unreal Engine 5 “Oblivion Remaster,”complete with speculative gameplay elements.
