Oblivion Remake Might Launch as Soon as Next Month

If you’re tuned into the gaming buzz of 2025, one name that’s generating a lot of whispers is a remake of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. This cherished gem from the fantasy RPG universe is ripe for a modern makeover, yet Bethesda has stayed mum about its existence. Nonetheless, there’s a slew of clues suggesting an Oblivion remake is practically on the horizon, with fresh chatter hinting it could be here as soon as next month.

A group of dedicated Elder Scrolls modders has been painstakingly reconstructing Oblivion using the Skyrim engine. Their long effort might face competition if the whispers prove true and Bethesda releases an official version. In the meantime, fans of the series have options that could keep them occupied while the anticipation for The Elder Scrolls 6 continues to build. Earlier this year, the buzz was that the remake of TES 4 might be ready for players’ eager hands within a few months, and now we’ve got fresh tidbits narrowing that timeline even further.

The well-known insider, ‘NateTheHate,’ previously mentioned that we might hear the official word on the Oblivion remake “either this month or next month” with a launch before June. After NateTheHate’s prediction, VGC’s own sources not only backed him up but also suggested it “could appear as soon as next month.”

And when you consider an April release, with NateTheHate indicating imminent news, one date seems perfect for Bethesda’s big reveal. March 20 could indeed be monumental, marking 19 years since Oblivion first captivated us. True, it’s not a milestone anniversary, but it’s a nostalgic moment that fits nicely for news to drop. Considering all this chatter and evidence, I’m fairly confident that we’ll soon be enjoying an Oblivion remake.

With Bethesda’s hands full, tending to Fallout 76, crafting a Starfield expansion, and of course, developing TES 6, rumor has it that the task of revamping Oblivion has been handed off to another studio. Signs point to Virtuos, a studio renowned for contributions to major titles like Horizon Forbidden West, Halo Infinite, and Call of Duty Modern Warfare. They’re no strangers to high-stakes projects in beloved series.

While we await what feels like an inevitable announcement, dive back into the Elder Scrolls universe with some top-notch Skyrim mods or rediscover some of the greatest RPGs of all time.
