When diving into the buzzing chatter of the 2025 gaming world, you’ll notice one particular project frequently stealing the spotlight: a rumored remake of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. This cherished classic from the fantasy RPG realm seems ripe for a contemporary revamp, though Bethesda hasn’t confirmed its existence just yet. Despite this, countless hints suggesting an Oblivion remake have surfaced, making it seem nearly inevitable. Fresh off the rumor mill, we’re now hearing whispers that we might see it as soon as next month.
A group of dedicated Elder Scrolls modders has been hard at work revamping Oblivion using Skyrim’s engine. Their ambitious project has been underway for years, but might soon find itself outpaced by a potential Bethesda-endorsed remake, if the rumors hold true. It’s a win-win for fans, offering double the delight while we continue the wait for The Elder Scrolls 6. Earlier noise in the industry hinted that this TES 4 revamp would be in gamers’ hands by early this year. Today, new reports are tightening that timeline even further.
The well-regarded insider ‘NateTheHate’ recently speculated that news on the Oblivion remake could drop “either this month or next,” with a release before June. Adding credibility, VGC’s sources have echoed NateTheHate’s predictions, suggesting the game might debut as soon as next month.
With an April release on the cards and hints from NateTheHate suggesting imminent news, one date, in particular, seems fitting for Bethesda to make a splash: March 20. This date marks the 19th anniversary of Oblivion’s original release. While not a notable milestone, it presents a meaningful moment for Bethesda to announce the remake. This is just my speculation, but given the accumulation of reports and whispers, I’m fairly confident we’ll be playing a refreshed Oblivion in a couple of months. Exciting times!
As Bethesda’s own team continues to focus on supporting Fallout 76, crafting more content for Starfield, and of course, developing TES 6, the Oblivion remake is reportedly outsourced. The evidence points to Virtuos, a studio known for collaborating on major titles such as Horizon Forbidden West, Halo Infinite, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. They’re well-versed in handling prominent games and beloved franchises.
