Summary

  • A developer’s LinkedIn profile hints at the active development of an Oblivion remake using Unreal Engine 5.
  • Fans are anticipating an Oblivion remake reveal during an Xbox Developer Direct in 2025, though the event hasn’t been confirmed.
  • Many are eager for a new Elder Scrolls 6 trailer in 2025.

It’s possible that the speculated remake of “Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion” is currently under development, as suggested by a developer’s LinkedIn profile. For quite some time, there have been hints about a potential remake or remaster of “The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion,” and recent leaks appear to support its development.

Speculation about a potential remake of the game “Oblivion” has been ongoing for years, with whispers suggesting a release date sometime between 2024 and 2025 for an as-yet unannounced project. Last December, Xbox insider Jez Corden hinted that the reveal of the “Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion” remake might happen during an Xbox Developer Direct event scheduled for January 2025. Although this event has yet to be officially confirmed, given that such events were held in both January 2023 and January 2024, it’s a distinct possibility. With leaks and rumors still swirling, there’s growing evidence that “Oblivion” enthusiasts may have something exciting to look forward to soon.

The LinkedIn profile of a Technical Art Director at Virtuos, a Chinese game developer rumored to be working on the Oblivion remake, states that they are currently involved in an undisclosed Unreal Engine 5 remake for PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S. Although the specific title isn’t explicitly named, there is widespread speculation among fans that it could be the forthcoming Elder Scrolls game, given the use of Unreal Engine 5. This suggests that the upcoming title may indeed be a remake rather than a remaster as previously assumed. It should also be noted that plans for a Fallout 3 remaster were announced in late 2023; however, it remains uncertain whether these plans are still active.

LinkedIn Page Adds Credence to Oblivion Remake Rumors

Initially launched in 2006 after the success of “The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind” in 2002, “Oblivion” was met with widespread approval due to its expansive game world, impressive graphics, and captivating soundtrack. Since 2012, a dedicated group of fans has been working tirelessly on the “Skyblivion” mod, aiming to recreate “Oblivion” using the engine from “Skyrim”. Not long ago, the team responsible for this project shared an update video that hinted at the release of the massive mod in 2025.

The outlook for the Elder Scrolls series is unclear at present, as only one teaser trailer for Elder Scrolls 6 has been shown, which was in 2018. Bethesda Game Studios has revealed that they plan to work on Elder Scrolls 6 after completing Starfield, with director Todd Howard suggesting it might be released between 15 to 17 years following the launch of Skyrim. A specific release date may still be some time away, but fans are eagerly awaiting a fresh trailer before the end of 2025.
