The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Could Be Receiving a Remake — And It Might Be Out Very Soon

When The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion debuted in 2006, it captivated players with its vast open world and engaging RPG elements. Now, nearly 20 years later, it appears that the cherished game might be making a return — potentially as early as 2025.

Speculation about a contemporary remake has been around for a while, but it gained significant momentum this week after what seem to be authentic screenshots appeared online. The images were reportedly found on the backend of Virtuos Studios’ official website early Tuesday morning. Although the original links have been removed — many now direct to 404 error pages — the screenshots continue to circulate on Reddit and other social media platforms.

Virtuos Studios, a developer located in Singapore, is well-regarded for its efforts in remastering and porting classic titles to current systems. With their experience, they would be an ideal candidate to take on a remake of Oblivion.

Even more thrilling is the possibility that the release might be closer than anticipated. According to journalist Jeff Grubb on his Game Mess Mornings podcast, the remake could be unexpectedly released during the week of April 21. Grubb has a strong track record of accurate industry leaks, which adds credibility to the assertion.

If this turns out to be the case, fans of the Elder Scrolls franchise won’t have to wait long to return to the legendary realm of Cyrodiil — this time with contemporary graphics and improved gameplay.

Stay alert, because Oblivion might be making a comeback sooner than you expect.
