Summary
- The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remake news may be coming soon.
- It’s possible the game will be releasing earlier than June, which was the previously expected launch month.
- Official word on the remake could come this month or next month, according to leaks.
It seems as though news on The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remake could be dropping in the very near future. The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion is one of the most beloved open world RPGs of all time and has been since it was first released for PC and Xbox 360 in 2006. It’s been nearing 20 years since Oblivion‘s initial launch, and so fans have been calling for a remake or remaster on modern platforms.
Fans have been wanting to see a proper Oblivion remake for so long that they actually took matters into their own hands. A group of modders have been working on an Oblivion fan remake called Skyblivion that rebuilds the game in Skyrim‘s engine, with that project expected to launch at some point later this year. But if rumors are to be believed, there will also be an official Oblivion remake releasing in 2025 as well.

The team working on Skyblivion comments on the rumored official Oblivion remake and how its release could affect the fan-made project.
Leaker NateTheHate recently responded to a question on Twitter about the status of the long-rumored Oblivion remake. According to their information, news on the Oblivion remake will likely come at some point “this month” or “next month,” with the game itself potentially releasing “sooner than the original June target.” However, the leaker cautioned that they were still “working to get details” on that front. Assuming NateTheHate’s information is correct, it seems Elder Scrolls fans will get to play the Oblivion remake within the next few months.
Oblivion Remake Release Date Could Be Sooner Than Expected
If the Oblivion remake is releasing earlier than June, one has to wonder when exactly it will drop. April 2025 is already a busy month for Xbox, with big games like South of Midnight and day one Xbox Game Pass game Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 both on the docket, and May 2025 is home to the highly-anticipated Doom: The Dark Ages. With a big Xbox presentation expected to take place in June, one would think that an Oblivion remake would be ideal for a shadow drop, but it seems that may not be the case if it’s releasing earlier than expected. Of course, it’s always possible this information is inaccurate, and so fans should take any claims about the Oblivion remake with a grain of salt until Xbox itself confirms that it’s in development.
Rumors have been swirling about an Oblivion remake for years. The latest information suggests that the Oblivion remake is being built with Unreal Engine 5 for release on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S consoles by Virtuos. Luckily, more concrete information on the project should come to light sooner rather than later.
