Bethesda teases Oblivion Remaster, to be officially revealed today
Bethesda has hinted at the long-awaited remaster of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. The Microsoft-owned studio has scheduled an official announcement slated for April 22, 2025.
The tease comes after Bethesda shared an image on social media featuring a close-up of a warrior's eye, and the Roman numeral "IV," which has hyped up the excitement among fans of the acclaimed RPG franchise.
The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion was launched in 2006 for PC and Xbox 360, followed by a PlayStation 3 version in 2007. The existence of a remaster of the game has been speculated for a while. Details about a new version first emerged on a leaked list of projects from ZeniMax Media during the high-profile Microsoft vs. FTC court hearings, but details related to it have been spare. Recently, some fans spotted screenshots and logos associated with the remaster on Virtuos’s website, a support studio which has reportedly been working on the development of the game.
According to the leaked information, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered is expected to launch across multiple platforms, including Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and PlayStation 5. As an Xbox first-party title, it will also be available through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Xbox PC Game Pass at launch.
This potential remaster arrives at a time when nostalgia for classic titles is peaking, especially within the expansive Elder Scrolls universe. Gamers can look forward to enhanced visuals and gameplay improvements that modern technology can offer, aiming to breathe new life into a game that many consider a classic.
Bethesda will announce the Oblivion Remaster on April 22, 2025, at 11am ET/8am PT / 4pm BST on YouTube, and Twitch. As details continue to emerge, excitement builds within the gaming community, even the modders of the Skyblivion project said they were eager to see the remaster.
Great news. That being said a remaster for Fallout 3 and New Vegas is also widely requested, and would be nice if they released those for console. Modders have some notable projects for pc but still.
Either way, Elder scrolls is awesome too and this is sweeeeeeet. Hail Elder Scrolls.
Morrowind was better.
Yeah, Daggerfall and Arena seem good too, but they are too old for me. Morrowind is the perfect balance between graphics and gameplay.
It’s the best, Arena and Daggerfall seem good too, but I haven’t played them yet. They feel too old to me.
Morrowind is the best balance between gameplay and graphics.

Please don’t support Microsoft, a convicted monopoly, which should’ve been broken up years ago, by buying ANYTHING from them. Vote with your wallet. If you buy ANYTHING from M$, you are contributing to their dominance, to their world view, to their connections in governments, schools, and military around the world. Windows is a kingdom of rootkits.
Don’t just take it from me, here’s a little reminder:
“[…] Microsoft killed my company, and I hold a personal grudge. They are a company with vicious, predatory, anti-competitive business practices, and always have been. They also happen to make terrible products, and always have. I do not use any Microsoft products, and neither should you.” – Jamie Zawinski – https://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/xscreensaver-windows.html
Look no further than NOVELL to recall what happens in M$ “partnerships.”
