Bethesda confirms Oblivion Remastered reveal plans

Bethesda has officially confirmed The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. However, the full reveal won't be happening today as originally thought, instead it will be taking place tomorrow. 

In a tweet this afternoon, Bethesda announced plans for a livestream at 4PM BST on the 22nd of April, which is tomorrow at the time of publishing. The announcement was also shared on The Elder Scrolls social accounts and was accompanied by an image of a warrior looking out to an Oblivion gate. To really get the message across, IV is imposed over the image.

This confirms the recent leaks, all pointing to a new version of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion hitting the market. The remaster is developed by Virtuos, with assistance from two of Bethesda's smaller in-house teams. The game looks to offer completely new Unreal Engine 5 graphics.

The game is expected to launch for PC and Xbox, while also being a day-one title for PC Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. As this is a remaster of an old game, it could potentially come to Game Pass Standard subscribers as well, but we'll have to wait until tomorrow to know for sure.

KitGuru Says: It is not happening today as previously thought but as Microsoft tends to schedule much of its PR around Tuesdays and Thursdays, the April 22nd date makes a lot of sense.
