The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remaster is seemingly real, and fans have gotten their first look at it, thanks to leaks from the official Virtuos Games website. Rumors about a remake or remaster of the game have circled for a long time now, and the body of evidence has continued to grow as time goes on, but specifics about the game's release have remained a mystery. While the latest leak doesn't clarify everything, it does likely confirm that the Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remaster is coming and will be released on multiple platforms.
Bethesda still has not confirmed anything about the long-rumored remaster, but fans have been all but sure of its eventual release for a while. There were plenty of signs pointing toward it being a reality, although none were a complete guarantee. Fans recently noticed that the Oblivion Steam page had been updated, leading many to believe the rumored release was imminent, though other Zenimax titles showing similar changes cast some suspicion over that possibility. This new leak, however, leaves little room for doubt.
The Elder Scrolls 6 Shouldn't Follow in Oblivion and Skyrim's Footsteps With One Trend
The long-running RPG series is packed full of easter eggs and callbacks, but one in particular doesn’t have much of a The Elder Scrolls 6.
On April 15, 2025, leaked Oblivion remaster images popped up on a ResetEra thread as fans dug into now-deleted content on Virtuos Games' website. Virtuos has worked with other studios on several remakes and updates in the past, including the Nintendo Switch remasters of Dark Souls and Final Fantasy X, and these leaks confirm that it has helped Bethesda remaster Oblivion. The wording is important here, as the leaked title calls the game a remaster, not a full remake, which some earlier leaks and rumors suggested it might be. As such, it's unclear if it'll take the opportunity to modernize Oblivion's combat or make any other quality-of-life improvements, but the game certainly looks better than its original 2006 release.
Leaks Confirm the Oblivion Remake Is Real and Coming to Xbox Series X/S, PC, and PS5
In addition to confirming that the Oblivion remaster is likely real, leaked details from Virtuos revealed that the game will come to Xbox Series X/S, PC, and PlayStation 5. Some images also showcase a Deluxe Edition, although what this will cost and what special bonuses it will include aren't certain for now. Fans may not need to wait long to learn, though. Earlier rumors suggest that there will be little to no gap between the Oblivion remaster's announcement and release, with Bethesda possibly even planning a shadow drop.
The leaked images and details also don't confirm any release windows, but the fact that they prematurely went live could suggest that day is coming soon. Gaming insider Jeff Grubb has said that the Oblivion remaster could drop during the week of April 21, which is in line with The Elder Scrolls Online' s anniversary event. These specifics remain a bit of a mystery for now, but fans at least have confirmation that Oblivion will finally get new life breathed into it before long.
