  • Virtuos is believed to be developing the remaster, with combat and UI improvements expected.
  • Screenshots of Oblivion Remastered have leaked online, along with a potential release date set around April 21.

It seems like the long-awaited remaster of “The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion” is on the horizon, as clues pointing towards this project have been found on Bethesda’s website. This week has been particularly thrilling for fans of The Elder Scrolls series, as snippets of the remastered game have started appearing on social media. The development of this project had been a topic of speculation, with Microsoft’s court documents during the acquisition of Activision Blizzard suggesting that Bethesda was indeed working on “The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered”. This would be an updated version of the open-world classic from 2006.

Initially, not much information about the project was available, leading many fans to doubt if it would actually come to fruition. However, when images of Oblivion Remastered surfaced on the internet, they sent shockwaves through the The Elder Scrolls community and the gaming world in general. The pictures gave players their first look at a contemporary Cyrodiil, which appeared to validate that the project was indeed underway.

A dedicated fan named Such-Ad5976 stumbled upon hints about “The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered” by analyzing Bethesda’s Google Tag Manager data. Specifically, they found a tag for “oblivion-remastered,” which wasn’t present on April 10, 2025. This tag has since been removed, but it seems likely that it was added by Bethesda in preparation for the upcoming remastered version of “Oblivion.” Although an official release date hasn’t been announced yet, industry experts such as Jeff Grubb suggest that the remake of “The Elder Scrolls 4” will debut during the week of April 21, 2025.

What To Expect in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered

Bethesda Game Studios initially created the original version of Oblivion, but it’s said that Virtuos is developing the remastered edition. There are whispers that this remaster could be stealthily released (shadow dropped) for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S as early as the end of April 2025. Previous leaks hint at significant enhancements to the combat system in Oblivion Remastered, particularly with regards to dodging and archery. Additionally, rumors suggest that the user interface has received a significant overhaul.

The upcoming release of Oblivion Remastered presents a significant moment for Bethesda. With almost two decades having passed since the original launch, Bethesda’s games have seen significant growth and development since then. Considering the divided responses to the debut of Starfield, Oblivion Remastered could offer Bethesda crucial insights into whether revisiting their roots for The Elder Scrolls 6 would be a worthwhile endeavor. Players can anticipate an announcement of Oblivion Remastered in the near future, with the game likely to hit stores on or close to April 21, 2025.
