Oblivion Remake Rumors Heat Up with 2025 Release Date Hints

In the year 2023, secret Microsoft files surfaced online, disclosing various future projects, among them a re-imagined version of ‘The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion‘. The documents suggested a launch in 2022, yet no formal announcement has been given, causing speculation about the project’s current situation.

More recently, Xbox Insider NateTheHate touched upon this topic during his podcast, implying that a re-release of Oblivion is tentatively set for June 2025. He hinted at Microsoft’s approach to keep the momentum going by continuously providing fresh content for Xbox and Game Pass members.

Backing up this assertion, a Virtuos team member’s LinkedIn profile indicates they have been working on an ‘unannounced UE5 PS5/XSX/PC remake’. With past speculation linking Virtuos to an Oblivion project, it’s plausible that this could be connected to the rumored remake in progress.

In the initial leaked files, the term ‘project’ was used in reference to a ‘remaster’, not a ‘remake’. The pushback to 2025 could hint at a move towards a more extensive overhaul, possibly turning it into a full remake. Furthermore, these same documents also suggested potential remasters or remakes for ‘Fallout 3’, but as of now, there’s no official word on either project.

Looking forward to hearing the official word, it’s thrilling to imagine returning to Cyrodiil in an updated version of Oblivion. If the reported June 2025 launch date proves true, we might hear updates from Bethesda and Xbox within the next few months.

Currently, an exciting fan creation known as ‘Skyblivion’ is being developed alongside other projects. Essentially, this project involves rebuilding Oblivion within the Skyrim engine, and it’s slated for release in 2025. This means gamers can look forward to a fresh take on the classic game, complete with enhanced graphics and modern mechanics.

As we anticipate updates, it’s evident that ‘The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion’ still serves as a source of inspiration for fans and creators in the gaming community.
