After months of leaks, whispers, and mounting excitement, Bethesda is finally ready to lift the veil on The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. The official reveal is scheduled for today, April 22, at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET / 7 PM UAE time bringing with it the potential for one of the most exciting shadow drops in recent memory.
Rumors of the remaster have been swirling for over a year, but recent developments have all but confirmed that it’s real and arriving very soon. From a newly discovered Steam listing to leaked screenshots and an updated ESRB rating (spotted by eagle-eyed Reddit user No_Carpenter_735), the signs are clear: Oblivion Remastered is not just on the horizon, it’s about to land.
Perhaps the most tantalizing detail is that Bethesda and Xbox might employ their now-familiar shadow drop strategy. Past successes like Hi-Fi Rush and Ninja Gaiden 2 saw immediate releases right after their announcements, and fans are betting that Oblivion Remastered will follow suit. With the ESRB update suggesting a release is imminent, expectations are sky-high for the game to be available to download the moment it’s revealed.
The remaster, reportedly developed by Virtuos and powered by Unreal Engine 5, is expected to bring updated visuals, enhanced mechanics, and a slate of modern quality-of-life improvements while hopefully keeping the game’s beloved quirks intact. (Yes, we’re looking at those iconic voice acting bloopers.)
With the reveal just hours away, the community is buzzing. Forums and social media are full of wishlists and nostalgic recollections of adventures in Cyrodiil, as players prepare to re-enter one of the most beloved entries in the Elder Scrolls franchise.
Fans can catch the livestream reveal on Bethesda’s official YouTube and Twitch channels.
