Oblivion Remake May Launch as Soon as Next Month, Reports Suggest

When it comes to video game rumors for 2025, there’s one title that’s generating quite a bit of buzz: a remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. This classic entry in the beloved fantasy RPG series seems ripe for a contemporary makeover. Although Bethesda hasn’t officially confirmed anything yet, the sheer volume of clues hinting at an Oblivion remake makes it feel almost inevitable. Some recent reports even suggest it could hit the shelves as soon as next month.

Amidst the speculation, a group of talented modders dedicated to The Elder Scrolls series has been hard at work recreating Oblivion within Skyrim. This ambitious project has been in progress for years now, yet if the rumors are true, it might soon be overshadowed by an official remake from Bethesda itself. So, while you’re waiting for the release of The Elder Scrolls VI, it’s nice to know you’ll have choices. Earlier this year, whispers in the gaming community suggested that this TES IV remake would be available to players in just a few short months. Now, new reports have surfaced, tightening that anticipated timeline even further.

Initially, a well-known insider by the name of ‘NateTheHate’ predicted we’d hear official word about the Oblivion remake “either this month or next,” with the game launching by June. Since then, VGC’s sources have backed NateTheHate’s claim, even forecasting that “it could arrive as soon as next month.”

Considering the possibility of an April release and NateTheHate’s insistence that news is imminent, there’s a specific date that seems perfect for Bethesda’s announcement. Thursday, March 20 marks the 19th anniversary of Oblivion’s original release. While 19 years isn’t exactly a milestone anniversary, it would be a meaningful moment to reveal the remake. Of course, this is just my take, but given all the reports and rumors swirling around, it seems likely we’ll be hearing (and hopefully playing) the Oblivion remake within the next couple of months. Exciting, right?

With Bethesda fully engaged with supporting Fallout 76, working on a Starfield expansion, and the development of TES VI, it appears that the Oblivion remake is being handled externally. All signs point to Virtuos as the studio behind this project. Known for co-developing and supporting major titles like Horizon Forbidden West, Halo Infinite, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Virtuos is no novice when it comes to handling high-profile games and cherished series.

While we await that seemingly imminent Oblivion remake announcement, why not dive back into the Elder Scrolls universe with some fantastic Skyrim mods, or enjoy some of the most iconic RPGs ever made?
