Remake of Oblivion Could Potentially Release as Soon as Next Month

When you peek into the 2025 gaming rumor scene, there’s one project that’s buzzing with curiosity—an anticipated remake of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. This beloved installment in the fantasy RPG universe seems like a prime candidate for a modern refresh, although Bethesda hasn’t confirmed its existence just yet. Despite this, a steady stream of clues suggests that an Oblivion remake is almost a sure bet, with fresh speculation hinting that it could be available as soon as next month.

A dedicated group of experienced The Elder Scrolls modders has been working tirelessly to recreate Oblivion within the Skyrim framework. This ambitious project has been years in the making but may soon find itself overshadowed by a potential official Oblivion remake from Bethesda. In any case, fans of the series have choices to keep them entertained as they await the release date for The Elder Scrolls 6. Earlier this year, buzz about the TES 4 remake indicated that it would be in gamers’ hands shortly. Now, even more reports have cropped up, teasing an even more imminent release.

Originally, well-known insider ‘NateTheHate’ predicted that official news regarding the Oblivion remake would surface “either this month or next month,” projecting a launch before June. His insights have since gained further credibility, with VGC’s sources not only supporting NateTheHate’s claims but expecting that “it could arrive as soon as next month.”

Considering the potential for an April release and NateTheHate suggesting news is just around the corner, one date stands out as potentially significant for a big reveal from Bethesda. Thursday, March 20 marks 19 years since Oblivion originally hit the scene. It’s not a round number, but it’s a meaningful anniversary that might be perfect for dropping exciting news. While that’s just my hunch, given all the current reports and tidbits, I’m pretty confident you’ll soon hear about—and maybe even be playing—a revamped Oblivion within the coming months. Exciting times!

Bethesda’s own developers are currently busy supporting Fallout 76, crafting another Starfield expansion, and of course, working on TES 6. Therefore, the Oblivion remake is reportedly being outsourced, with a good deal of evidence pointing to Virtuos as the team handling it. Known for its role in co-developing major titles like Horizon Forbidden West, Halo Infinite, and Call of Duty Modern Warfare, Virtuos is no stranger to working on high-profile and beloved game series.

While we all sit tight for the seemingly inevitable Oblivion remake announcement, why not dive back into The Elder Scrolls atmosphere with some of the top Skyrim mods, or revisit a few of the best RPGs out there?
