A remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, which has been the subject of much speculation, might not be too far off according to a recent report.
Rumors surrounding the remake of the beloved 2006 RPG by Bethesda have circulated for some time. Many expected it to make an appearance during Microsoft and Xbox’s Developer Direct 2025, though it ultimately didn’t happen, disappointing some fans. However, recent updates suggest the game could still be closer than anticipated.
According to journalist Tom Warren, writing in his newsletter for The Verge, the remake of the open-world action RPG is expected to release in late spring or early summer, potentially between May and June. While Warren didn’t disclose his sources, this timeline has added fuel to the ongoing buzz about the project.
Reports about the Oblivion remake first surfaced in 2023, with speculation that the project is being developed in collaboration with Virtuos, a company known for assisting with high-profile game remasters and remakes. The remake is rumored to utilize a combination of the original game engine and Unreal Engine 5, blending old and new technologies to modernize the experience. Enhanced gameplay mechanics are reportedly a focus, with improvements to blocking, stamina management, archery, stealth systems, and more.
Earlier this month, the LinkedIn profile of a Virtuos employee mentioned an unannounced remake being developed in Unreal Engine 5. This detail further fueled speculation that the project could indeed be the Oblivion remake.
It’s important to note that all of this remains unconfirmed at this point. If the rumors are accurate, an official announcement might not be far off. There’s also the possibility that Microsoft could opt for a surprise release, unveiling the game and launching it on the same day—a strategy they’ve used for other titles in the past. For now, fans can only wait and see if these whispers of a return to the world of Oblivion come to fruition.
