The long-awaited remaster of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has finally come into the spotlight, thanks to a leak on developer Virtuos' website. Screenshots and images showcasing The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered have been circulating on platforms like ResetEra and Reddit, revealing significant enhancements in models, textures, and overall visual fidelity.
The leak was first spotted by Wario64 on Twitter, who shared the images and a link to the now largely inaccessible Virtuos website. Although most pages on the site are currently down, the leaked content has already spread across the internet.
According to VGC, the remastered game is officially titled The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered and is a collaborative effort between Virtuos and Bethesda's studios in Dallas and Rockville. Virtuos, known for their work on various remasters including The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition, is leading the charge on this project.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is slated for release on PC, Xbox Series X|S (available on Game Pass), and PlayStation 5. A Deluxe Edition is also in the works, which will include bonus content such as weapons and horse armor—a playful reference to the infamous 2006 DLC.
Rumors of an Oblivion remaster have been circulating since the Microsoft-FTC trial in 2023, with recent reports suggesting a possible shadow-drop this month. Despite the lack of an official announcement, the abundance of leaked information suggests that The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is on the horizon and could be arriving sooner than expected.
