As a passionate gamer, I’ve been eagerly anticipating the latest whispers about Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. It seems some leaks are hinting that the creators might be drawing inspiration from Soulslike games for this iconic title. For years, we’ve been buzzing with rumors of a remaster or remake, but alas, no official word has been given yet. However, these leaks have fueled our excitement as they suggest that not only is the game in development, but it could be launching later this year! Keep your fingers crossed, fellow adventurers!

According to recent rumors, it appears that the remake of “The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion” could be under development by Virtuos and may release as early as June 2025. However, it’s important to note that this information hasn’t been officially verified by Bethesda or Microsoft, so fans should approach these leaks with a healthy dose of skepticism. In the meantime, another leak offers additional details about the project.

1st MP has disclosed that they found a website by an ex-employee from Virtuos, revealing details about the remake of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. According to the report, unlike earlier assumptions, the Oblivion remake is not just a remaster but a comprehensive rebuild using Unreal Engine 5. The report suggests that the blocking system for the Oblivion remake draws inspiration from Soulslike games, although specifics on how this will be implemented were not provided. If the information is accurate, the game scheduled to release later this year may also feature enhancements in stealth, a more lenient stamina system, a redesigned HUD, improved hit reactions, and advanced archery mechanics.

Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remake Blocking System Reportedly Inspired by Soulslikes

According to the report, it seems the Oblivion remake won’t follow the Soulslike format as such, but will incorporate elements from combat systems typical of Soulslikes to deliver a unique gaming experience for players. The specifics on how this will unfold are still unclear, but if rumors about the Oblivion remake launching in June 2025 hold true, fans shouldn’t have to wait long to discover more details.

Instead of expecting the reveal of the Oblivion remake during the Xbox Developer Direct event on January 23, fans might want to be patient as rumors suggesting its appearance at the show have been refuted. Instead, fans can anticipate checking out Doom: The Dark Ages, South of Midnight, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and an unnamed surprise game at the event.
