Oblivion remake rumours continue to circulate

The heavily rumoured remake of Bethesda's beloved 2006 RPG, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, might be coming soon. According to the latest reports, the game is ready to be launched and could be shadowdropped later this month.

The report from Jeff Grub from GiantBomb matches the previous rumours and claims that Bethesda was considering a simultaneous reveal and release strategy for March or April. Note, however, that there was also an earlier report pointing to a release in June.

Reports indicate that Virtuous is developing the supposed Oblivion remake. Moreover, it's supposed to be a “full remake” using Unreal Engine 5 with significant overhauls to various gameplay mechanics. The game's existence was initially hinted at in documents from the 2023 Microsoft vs. FTC lawsuit related to Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard. These documents listed an unnamed Bethesda title referred to as “Oblivion Remaster”, slated for release in fiscal year 2022, which didn't happen.
