The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered has finally been acknowledged by Bethesda itself. The long-rumoured remaster of the Elder Scrolls game with the most loveable potato-faced weirdos looks set to be revealed and potentially arrive during a reveal stream that’s now penned in for tomorrow, April 22.
This was a complete surprise. None of us knew it was coming. It’s not like rumours about it started to surface all the way back in 2023. Oh, and it’s also not like this Oblivion remaster leaked last week or had the official Xbox support account giving out a release date.
Anyway, all of that aside, Bethesda’s now announced a reveal stream for the remaster that’s set for April 22. You’ll be able to watch it here via the video above when it kicks off at 4PM BST, which is 11AM ET, 8AM PT, and 5PM CEST.
Given all the rumours, there seems a damn good chance of the game itself being shadow-dropped as part of or during this stream, which Bethesda’s cheekily entitled ‘All will be revealed….’.
So, there you go. We’ll just have to see how everyone feels about the tweaks Virtuos Games and Bethesda have made to 2006’s foremost spooky door closing simulator that also happened to get the best Elder Scrolls DLC so far. Yes, that’s a hill I’ll die on. Shivering Isles FTW.
It’s ok though. If you don’t like the remaster, the original game is still right there for you to fire back up, in all of its wonderfully weird glory. Plus, for PC folks, there’s massive modding project Skyblivion, which is still on track to offer its own take on Oblivion.
“Luckily this thing was all about passion from the start and it still is,” the mod’s project lead told us right after the official remaster leaked, “I’ve gotten more out of this than I ever imagined, friends, experience and it made me realize I wanted to work in the gaming industry which I ended up doing.”
Will you be playing the Oblivion remaster 24/7 like it’s 2006 again? Let us know below!
