Exciting news has emerged for fans of The Elder Scrolls series as more details about the long-rumored relaunch of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion have surfaced. Thanks to a leak on developer Virtuos' website, screenshots and images have been shared across various forums like ResetEra and Reddit, giving us a glimpse into The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered.
The leaked images showcase significant enhancements in models, details, and overall fidelity, promising a visually stunning experience. Originally spotted by Wario64 on X (formerly Twitter), the images have sparked considerable interest among the gaming community. However, following the leak, Virtuos' website has become nearly inaccessible, with most pages outside its main landing page now down.
Despite the quick response to scrub the details, the internet has already been flooded with the shared screenshots and information. According to VGC, the remastered game, titled The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, is being developed collaboratively by Virtuos and Bethesda's studios in Dallas and Rockville. Virtuos, known for their expertise in remasters, has previously worked on titles such as The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition.
The remaster is set to launch on PC, Xbox Series X|S (available on Game Pass), and PlayStation 5. There will also be a Deluxe Edition, which includes bonus content such as weapons and horse armor—a playful reference to the controversial 2006 DLC.
Rumors of an Oblivion remaster have been circulating for some time, initially surfacing during the Microsoft-FTC trial in 2023. Recent reports have even suggested the possibility of a shadow-drop release as soon as this month.
While no official statement or reveal has been made yet, the wealth of leaked information suggests that The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is on the horizon and may be arriving sooner than expected.
