- A Remaster of Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion seems imminent
- Screenshots are picked up from Developer Virtuos Web site
- It could launch with a deluxe edition already next week
For me, the biggest news of the week is not something Nintendo Switch 2-related or even Respawn’s new Star Wars games. No, it’s the notion that the long rumor The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remaster can actually be completely real.
Potential images of the remaster have appeared on Oblivion Subbreddit, retrieved from Developer Virtuos Website. And even more images, including comparison shoots to the original game and one that shows a Deluxe edition, have been collected in an imgur post.
What’s more, as reported by Eurogamer, the supposed Remaster could be launched already next week (probably April 21 – 25) for the Xbox Series X | S, PS5, PC and Xbox Game Pass. If this is really true it means that I have to punt again Baldur’s Gate 3 back in the backlog mines despite having received his massive last patch because Oblivion is one of my favorite games at all times.

We’ve heard of a potential Oblivion Remaster since 2023, back in FTC vs. Microsoft Court Case Days. But still, I can’t shake the feeling that a shadow fall next week feels a little weird to me.
Microsoft has announced its next Xbox Games exhibition window for June 8 just around Summer Game Party. I think it would probably be more sensible to reveal Oblivion Remaster there. But hey, if this isn’t all a detailed hoax, and it actually arrives next week, I certainly won’t complain.
Why oblivion?
Oblivion Maybe just be the most divisive post in Oldest rolls Franchise. It was an astonishing showcase for 2006 and certainly helped to change many Xbox 360. But frankly, the game is the textbook definition of ‘Jank’.
Whether it is non-player characters (NPCs) who speak absolutely Gibberish to each other, voice actors swaping between lines from the same character, a broken leveling system or its horrible play-do-sque citizens, Oblivions Very damn nature is typically what people remember lovingly of the game.
It can often feel like a bisarr fever dream when you witness the world of Cyrodiil, and its characters behave in increasingly bizarre ways. All supported by Jeremy Soule’s Legendary Soundtrack, Oblivion Is a game that definitely has more than a few screws loose, but I will be cursed if it has no heart.
Hopefully this charm is not lost in a polished remaster with more modern visuals and different quality of life updates. But still, if this whole thing turns out to be a detailed hoax, pretending that I didn’t say anything.
