That long-rumoured The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remake might reportedly launch as quickly as subsequent month, or if it would not make that, previous to June this 12 months.
This as of but nonetheless unannanounced remake – that is supposedly being developed in Unreal Engine 5 – has been the topic of alleged leaks and on-line chatter for a few years now. We first heard about it in 2023, when somebody claiming to be an ex-Virtuos Video games worker popped up on Reddit, and it was subsequently talked about in some Microsoft paperwork which leaked through the firm’s ActiBlizz deal courtroom proceedings in opposition to the FTC.
Now, the newest replace comes through VGC and leaker NatetheHate. The latter has claimed that they’ve heard the remake could possibly be in line for launch previous to June, revealing in a tweet that they are anticipating information on it “both this month or subsequent month”. Assuming their launch window assertion’s correct, that information being a correct reveal would appear to make sense timeline-wise.
In the meantime, VGC claims that sources have informed it that the sport “might arrive as quickly as subsequent month”, in order that’d be April on this case. There isn’t any purpose to assume it’s going to occur, however I might personally like to see a reveal and shadow-drop on the morning of April 1. Really, on second thought, please do not do this Bethesda/Virtuos, writing information on April Fools’ Day goes to take sufficient of a toll on my sanity as is.
As for what this Unreal Engine 5 remake will play like, it was reported again in January that an ex-Virtuos worker had leaked some particulars about the way it’ll be switching up some gameplay methods and parts together with stamina, the HUD, and blocking, in an obvious effort to modernise issues a bit.
This official Oblivion remake is not the one Oblivion remaster-ish factor that appears set to launch this 12 months. There’s additionally huge Skyrim modding mission Skyblivion, the mission lead of which we requested in regards to the Oblivion remake rumours and what impression such a factor might have for the mod throughout an interview final month.
“I feel whether or not the rumours are true or not would not have an effect on us a lot,” Kyle ‘Rebelzize’ Insurgent informed us, “If they’re true I hope it is going to give individuals much more of a purpose to check out our iteration of it. If it isn’t true then this will probably be the easiest way to re-experience the sport [with] a brand new coat of paint.”
