As we sift through the buzzing realm of 2025 gaming rumors, one project is making waves: a potential remake of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. This cherished fantasy RPG is certainly ripe for a modern facelift, although Bethesda hasn’t officially confirmed its existence yet. However, the sheer volume of evidence suggesting its development makes it hard to ignore, with fresh reports indicating the remake might surface as early as next month.
Interestingly, while some dedicated Elder Scrolls fans are painstakingly recreating Oblivion using Skyrim’s engine, this labor of love that’s been in progress for years could soon be overshadowed. Reports of an official, Bethesda-backed Oblivion remake loom large, offering fans a choice between the fan-made version and its potential official counterpart. Either way, it’s a welcome distraction while we bide our time for The Elder Scrolls 6 to hit the shelves. Earlier in the year, sources claimed that we’d have the remake in our grasp soon. Now, additional reports have fine-tuned that schedule.
Initially, well-known insider ‘NateTheHate’ anticipated that official announcements concerning the Oblivion remake could drop “either this month or next,” with the game possibly launching before June. Following suit, sources from VGC have substantiated NateTheHate’s insights and even venture to say, “it could arrive as soon as next month.”
There’s a chance April could spell the release we’re all waiting for, given the buzz surrounding imminent news shared by NateTheHate. I’ve got a hunch that Thursday, March 20 might serve as Bethesda’s ideal announcement date. It aligns with Oblivion’s 19th anniversary—it might not be a major milestone, but it’s significant enough for a big reveal. While that’s speculative, the sheer volume of reports and leaks suggests we might be hearing about and diving into an Oblivion remake in just a couple of months.
With Bethesda focusing on Fallout 76 support, crafting another Starfield expansion, and, of course, progressing on TES 6, it appears that the Oblivion remake is being outsourced. Word on the street is that Virtuos might be leading this charge. Known for their hands-on work with big titles like Horizon Forbidden West, Halo Infinite, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Virtuos is no newbie when it comes to collaborating on fan-favorite series.
Until the news drops on this seemingly inevitable Oblivion remake, why not dive back into the Elder Scrolls universe with some top-notch Skyrim mods, or revisit some of the greatest RPGs ever crafted?
