More details have emerged about the long-awaited relaunch of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, thanks to a leak on the developer Virtuos' website. Screenshots and images circulating on forums like ResetEra and Reddit showcase what appears to be The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, with significant improvements in models, details, and overall fidelity.
The leak was initially spotted and shared by Wario64 on Twitter, highlighting the images found on Virtuos' site. However, following the leak, Virtuos' website has become largely inaccessible, with most pages outside the main landing page now down.
Despite the quick removal of the details, the internet has already been flooded with screenshots and information. According to VGC, the remastered game, officially titled The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, is being developed through a collaboration between Virtuos and Bethesda's studios in Dallas and Rockville. Virtuos, known for their work on various remasters such as The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition, is leading the charge.
The remastered version is set to launch on PC, Xbox Series X|S (available on Game Pass), and PlayStation 5. Additionally, a Deluxe Edition is reportedly in the works, offering bonuses like weapons and horse armor—a playful reference to the infamous 2006 DLC.
Rumors of an Oblivion remaster have been swirling for some time, initially surfacing from leaked documents during the Microsoft-FTC trial in 2023. Subsequent reports suggested that the remaster could be released imminently, with some even hinting at a shadow-drop this month.
While no official announcement or reveal has been made yet, the substantial evidence from the leak strongly suggests that The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is on its way and may be released sooner rather than later.
