Rumors Swirling Around The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remake

Rumors have been circulating for some time about a possible remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and it seems that the game could be closer to release than we anticipated.

A Possible Release in 2025

According to leaker Extas1s, the remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is not only real but is rumored to be set for a release in 2025. Additionally, the speculation is that the game will be revealed at an Xbox Direct event in January.

Development Details

Prior rumors suggested that the remake would be developed by Virtuos, a studio with a history of assisting in game development for various platforms, including Sony. Virtuos has worked on titles such as Horizon Zero Dawn, Heavy Rain, and Dark Souls Remastered. They are also known for their involvement in third-party AAA titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and the upcoming remake Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, reportedly using Unreal Engine 5 for this project.

Possible Platforms and Reveals

While the rumored reveal of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remake may be tied to Xbox, potential platforms for the release could include Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC. As Bethesda is now under Xbox Studio, it is likely that Xbox will have a part in the unveiling. However, Microsoft has shown a willingness to release games on PlayStation platforms, as seen with Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, another Bethesda title set to launch on Sony’s platform.

Take Rumors With Caution

It is important to approach rumors like this with caution, as the status of game development is always subject to change. Even if the remake is in progress, there is no guarantee that it will come to fruition until an official confirmation is made. Hopefully, we will have more clarity on these rumors in the coming weeks.

The Impact on Fans

If The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remake does indeed launch for PS5 next year, it would undoubtedly excite fans of the franchise. With limited information available on The Elder Scrolls VI, this remake could provide fans with a nostalgic experience while they await the next installment in the series.
