In recent months, rumours of a complete remake for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion have been heating up. Now, according to multiple sources, the remake is on track to be revealed later this month, with a launch following the current Elder Scrolls Online anniversary event. 

According to leaker DetectiveSeeds, earlier information that the Oblivion Remake would release on April 4th was incorrect. Now after consulting multiple sources, it is claimed that the game will release the week of April 21st, following the conclusion of the current ESO anniversary event.

The Oblivion Remake is said to be in development at Virtuos, a studio that primarily co-develops AAA titles with major studios and publishers. Aside from Oblivion, Virtuos is working on the upcoming Metal Gear Solid Delta remake, and has previously worked on franchises like Call of Duty, The Outer Worlds, Hogwarts Legacy and others.

The remake is said to be developed using Unreal Engine 5 and may have a completely different combat system compared to what Elder Scrolls fans are used to. The change of engine also likely means less opportunity for mods.

KitGuru Says: Oblivion is my favourite Elder Scrolls game so I have high hopes for this remake. Court documents already revealed an Oblivion remake in Microsoft's plans, so all signs are pointing to this being real.
