If you’ve been keeping an eye on the rumors swirling in the video game world for 2025, you’ll likely have heard whispers about a potential remake of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. This gem of a fantasy RPG seems primed for a modern makeover, but Bethesda hasn’t made any official announcements about its existence just yet. However, the buzz has become so persistent and substantial that it feels almost certain. Fresh reports are even suggesting it might hit our screens as early as next month.
In the meantime, some passionate Elder Scrolls modders have taken it upon themselves to bring Oblivion back to life using the Skyrim engine. This ambitious project has been underway for several years, but if the rumors hold true, an official, polished version could soon steal the spotlight. Either way, fans will have something to enjoy while they patiently await any news about The Elder Scrolls 6. Earlier reports hinted that this TES 4 remake might be available in the upcoming months, and the latest updates have further narrowed the timeline.
We first heard from the notable insider, ‘NateTheHate,’ who anticipated that Bethesda would reveal something about the Oblivion remake “either this month or next month,” with a release planned before June. Backing up Nate’s claims, sources from VGC have suggested that “it could arrive as soon as next month.”
With whispers of an April release and NateTheHate expecting news imminently, a particular date has caught my attention as a potential moment for a Bethesda announcement. Thursday, March 20, marks 19 years since Oblivion’s original release. While it might not be a milestone anniversary, it offers a meaningful context for unveiling the remake. Though this is just my speculation, the volume of reports and insider tips makes me fairly confident that we could be both hearing about and playing an Oblivion remake in a couple of months. Exciting, right?
Interestingly, with Bethesda’s developers busy juggling Fallout 76, a new Starfield expansion, and the much-anticipated TES 6, the Oblivion remake seems to be in the hands of an outsourced studio. All signs point to Virtuos, a company that has made a name for itself by co-developing and supporting big names like Horizon Forbidden West, Halo Infinite, and Call of Duty Modern Warfare. They’re no stranger to handling major, beloved projects.
While we await the seemingly inevitable reveal of the Oblivion remake, why not dive back into the world of Elder Scrolls with some top-tier Skyrim mods? Or perhaps revisit some of the greatest RPGs ever crafted to tide you over.
