As we look ahead to 2025, one project has been making quite a splash in the world of gaming rumors—a potential remake of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. This cherished installment in the fantasy RPG saga certainly seems ripe for a modern reimagining, but Bethesda hasn’t yet confirmed its existence. Still, with an avalanche of hints suggesting its development, a fresh batch of reports suggests we might see it as soon as next month.
Meanwhile, some resourceful modders have been hard at work breathing new life into Oblivion within the framework of Skyrim. Although this endeavor has been underway for several years, it might soon face competition from an official Bethesda version if the rumors pan out. At least that leaves fans with options, right? Both efforts should offer plenty to keep players entertained while awaiting the eventual release of The Elder Scrolls 6. Earlier this year, speculation suggested we could be playing the Oblivion remake within a few short months, and now even more sources are firming up that timeline.
Prominent insider ‘NateTheHate’ hinted that news on the Oblivion remake could drop “either this month or next,” with a release anticipated before June. VGC’s sources have since backed up NateTheHate’s scoop, noting that “it could arrive as soon as next month.”
There’s a particular date on my mind that would be ideal for Bethesda to make an announcement—March 20. It marks exactly 19 years since Oblivion first hit the shelves. While not exactly a milestone anniversary, it represents a fitting day for a potential reveal. That’s just my speculation, of course, but given all the whispers and leaks, I’m fairly confident we’ll hear about, and get to play, an Oblivion remake very soon. Exciting times!
With Bethesda’s own team tied up supporting Fallout 76, crafting another Starfield expansion, and of course, developing TES 6, it appears the Oblivion remake is being handed off to another studio. Evidence suggests that Virtuos, a studio known for its co-development work on blockbusters like Horizon Forbidden West, Halo Infinite, and Call of Duty Modern Warfare, is the likely candidate for the task. They’re no strangers to handling beloved franchises.
While we anticipate the official Oblivion remake announcement, why not dive back into The Elder Scrolls universe? Check out some top-tier Skyrim mods or lose yourself in some of the greatest RPGs ever crafted.
