New Evidence of Rumored Elder Scrolls 4 Remake Surfaces

Rumored Oblivion Remake Fuels Fan Excitement for 2025

A LinkedIn profile belonging to a game developer strongly suggests an Oblivion remake is underway, utilizing Unreal Engine 5. This adds weight to long-standing rumors and recent leaks hinting at the project's existence. Speculation is rife that an official reveal will occur during a potential Xbox Developer Direct in 2025, a possibility strengthened by previous similar events in January 2023 and 2024. The anticipation extends beyond Oblivion, with many fans also eagerly awaiting a new trailer for Elder Scrolls 6 in 2025.

The buzz around an Oblivion remake has intensified. A 2023 rumor suggested a 2024 or 2025 launch, and Xbox insider Jez Corden's January 2025 prediction further fueled speculation. This recent LinkedIn post, from a Technical Art Director at Virtuos (a studio reportedly involved), mentions an "unannounced Unreal Engine 5 remake for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S." While not explicitly naming Oblivion, the context and engine specification strongly point towards it, suggesting a full remake rather than a simple remaster. The timing also coincides with previously reported plans for a Fallout 3 remaster, though its current status remains unclear.

LinkedIn Profile Reinforces Oblivion Remake Claims

Released in 2006, Oblivion, the successor to Morrowind (2002), garnered significant praise for its expansive world, visuals, and soundtrack. The enduring popularity of the game is evident in the ongoing Skyblivion project, a fan-made recreation using Skyrim's engine, which is expected to launch in 2025.

The future of the Elder Scrolls franchise remains a subject of much discussion. The only trailer for Elder Scrolls 6 debuted in 2018, and while Bethesda has confirmed it's next after Starfield, director Todd Howard's estimated release window ("15 to 17 years after Skyrim") leaves a significant timeframe. However, hopes are high for a fresh trailer before the year's end.
