The long-anticipated remake of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion could be revealed next month.
According to leaker Extas1s, not only is The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remake real, but Xbox could announce the game at an Xbox Direct event in January. Not only could it be announced next month, but the game could be released sometime in 2025.
Per previous rumors, the remake is being developed by Virtuos and is being built in Unreal Engine 5. Those rumors also hinted at a 2025 release for the game.
If you recall, the first word of a remake or remaster of the game came during the FTC’s investigation into Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard. At the time, the documents revealed the game was expected during fiscal year 2022, but that, obviously, never came to be. Since then, nothing has been said publicly by Microsoft or Bethesda on its status.

The Unreal 5 claim sounds suspect, if anything it would most likely use Bethesda’s updated Creation Engine.
Why wouldn’t Bethesda put their full weight behind and support the Skyblivion team? Even if they bought out the project and compensated the people who donated their time and money to work on it, their project has voice acting and everything.
I’m far more interested in the fan version.
We better not be getting Oblivion remake before Elder Scrolls VI
Yeah, no.
I doubt it will be a true remake. When I think of an remake it’s Daggerfall unity or open mw Morrowind. The whole point of remaking it in a different engine is to get rid of all the old game engine source code limitations of gamebyro. Mods like skyblivion is a re imagination of the game not a remake. If you seen some of the remake scenes in unreal that in itself is several times better than anything Bethesda could ever pull off.
Personally I messed around with a lot of different game engines and modded several games I would have dropped gamebyro after Morrowind. I know Bethesda has their creation engine but the base coding is gamebyro with all the same engine limitations that’s in Morrowind.
They’re gonna remake a game thats only one entry old? 🙄
More like remaster. I sincerely doubt it’s a full remake.
Maybe some fixes here and there, but no way are they getting rid of the infamous “efficient leveling” problem.
