Oblivion Remake Rumors Gain Momentum: Unreal Engine 5 and a Potential 2025 Reveal

A developer's LinkedIn profile fuels speculation about an Oblivion remake built using Unreal Engine 5. While unconfirmed, many fans anticipate an official reveal during a potential Xbox Developer Direct event in 2025. This excitement is further amplified by widespread anticipation for a new Elder Scrolls VI trailer within the same year.

The possibility of an Oblivion remake has circulated for years, with a 2023 rumor suggesting a 2024 or 2025 launch. In late December 2024, Xbox insider Jez Corden predicted a January 2025 unveiling during an Xbox Developer Direct. Given the company's history of holding these events in January (2023 and 2024), this remains a plausible scenario. Recent leaks and rumors add weight to the growing belief that an announcement is imminent.

A significant piece of this puzzle comes from the LinkedIn profile of a Technical Art Director at Virtuos, a Chinese development studio reportedly involved in the project. The profile mentions work on an "unannounced Unreal Engine 5 remake for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S." Although the game isn't explicitly named, the context, coupled with the use of Unreal Engine 5 (suggesting a full remake rather than a remaster), strongly points towards Oblivion. The timing also aligns with earlier whispers of a Fallout 3 remaster, though the status of that project remains unclear.

LinkedIn Profile Strengthens Oblivion Remake Claims

Oblivion, the successor to 2002's Morrowind, captivated players upon its 2006 release, praised for its expansive world, visuals, and soundtrack. Since 2012, a dedicated fan community has worked on Skyblivion, a mod recreating Oblivion within Skyrim's engine. A recent Skyblivion update hinted at a potential 2025 release for this ambitious project.

The future of the Elder Scrolls franchise remains shrouded in some mystery. The sole trailer for Elder Scrolls VI debuted in 2018. Bethesda Game Studios has confirmed it as their next major title following Starfield, with director Todd Howard suggesting a release window "15 to 17 years after Skyrim." While a concrete release date is still absent, fans are hopeful for a fresh trailer before the end of 2025.
