Rumors of a remake of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion have been circulating for some time, and recent developments suggest that the project may indeed be in active development. A developer's LinkedIn profile has provided a significant hint, indicating that a remake using Unreal Engine 5 is underway for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S. Although the game is not named explicitly, many believe it to be Oblivion, especially given the engine's capabilities for a full remake rather than a mere remaster.
In late December 2024, Xbox insider Jez Corden predicted that the reveal of the Oblivion remake might occur during an Xbox Developer Direct in January 2025. While this event has yet to be confirmed, Microsoft's history of hosting Developer Directs in January of previous years lends credibility to this possibility. As the rumors and leaks continue to surface, the anticipation among fans grows, with many eagerly awaiting official confirmation.
The original Oblivion, released in 2006 as a follow-up to The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind, received widespread acclaim for its expansive open world, stunning graphics, and memorable soundtrack. In the years since, dedicated fans have been working on Skyblivion, a mod that recreates Oblivion using Skyrim's engine. The team behind this project recently released a video update, hinting at a release in 2025.
Meanwhile, the future of the Elder Scrolls series remains a topic of interest, particularly with regards to The Elder Scrolls 6. The first and only trailer for this game was released in 2018, and Bethesda Game Studios has stated that it will be their next major project following Starfield. Director Todd Howard has suggested a release timeline of "15 to 17 years after Skyrim," but fans are hopeful to see a new trailer by the end of 2025.
As excitement builds around these potential developments, the gaming community remains on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting official announcements and updates on both the Oblivion remake and The Elder Scrolls 6.
