It has been claimed by an insider that the Oblivion remake that has been the talk of the town for a while could suddenly be released tomorrow. Recently, it was suggested by another rumour that the Oblivion remake would be released ‘sooner than expected’, and April was touted as being the month when the reveal would take place.
However, this all-new claim suggests that the game will just be dropped without warning. It’s time to take out the salt bowl and grab a pinch, folks.
In Our Dreams
The slew of rumours that have emerged regarding the Oblivion remake haven’t been all that wild, but we’re yet to see anything about the project. Per the claims, it’s in development at Virtuous Games and will be a full-blown rebuild of the 2006 title in Unreal Engine 5. It has been suggested that considerable upgrades have also been made to the game’s mechanics and combat systems.
It sounds great, but we don’t know a thing about it, including which platforms it’ll be released on, how much it’ll cost, and what it will look like.
On March 13, Nate The Hate posted on social media that he was expecting ‘news’ on the Oblivion remake to surface in April and that the release date for the game could be earlier than ‘the original June target’.
April is earlier than June, right?
Now, Detective Seeds has posted on Twitter with an all-new claim:
I believe the Oblivion remake is going to release end of next week, likely Thursday April 3rd. Then 13 days later Indiana jones on the 16th on PS5, and then 13 days later forza horizon 5 on 29th on PS5.
He expanded in the comments, covering his tracks slightly by placing the responsibility of the rumour on an undisclosed source, explaining:
It is a little iffy if it is going to be this week or next. They were confident in it coming though.
With that being said, we’re not really any closer to getting the truth. It could be tomorrow, it could be next week, or it could be June. Strangely, nothing has been revealed just yet, but a UE5 Elder Scrolls game, even a remake, would be a very welcome arrival right now.
Do you think the Oblivion remake rumours are real? Let me know in the comments or on the Insider Gaming forum.

Such a slap in the face to the Skyblivion Modding team. So petty. And it still won’t hold a candle to the work they have done.
Partly agree but Skyblivion is PC only.
Why is it petty and why is it a slap in the face? Gaming companies can’t be beholden to the wishes and desires of modders, come on man be reasonable. And with all due respect to the Skyblivion team, who I have no doubt are doing a great job, an official remake using Unreal 5 will be light years ahead of it
This is a ludicrous rumour. If Bethesda were really remaking Oblivion, and releasing it this soon, they would have said something, not just kept silent about it til the day of release. People have been craving a remaster, let alone a remake for so long, so it would be stupid to think they kept it quiet
I agree it’s a slap in the face to Skyblivion mod team. Skyblivion has been in the works for very long time and has now gained much more attention from fans. Bethesda knows it CAN charge $ for remake but seemingly had no interest in a remake until Skyblivion got the attention it did. They would’ve been better off just announcing their own remake in the works earlier as per usual for a studio. The only welcome news of this remake if true, would be if Bethesda secretly paid Skyblivion team to put their work into Unreal 5. But I’m sure we all know the answer to that. This has vulture tactics written all over it.
