New Evidence of Rumored Elder Scrolls 4 Remake Surfaces

Oblivion Remake Hints Emerge: Unreal Engine 5 and a Potential 2025 Reveal

Whispers of an Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remake are growing louder, fueled by a recent LinkedIn profile update. A Technical Art Director at Virtuos, a studio rumored to be involved, lists an "unannounced Unreal Engine 5 remake for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S" among their projects. While the game isn't explicitly named, the context strongly suggests it's Oblivion, particularly given the engine specification hinting at a full remake rather than a remaster.

This development corroborates earlier speculation and leaks surrounding a potential Oblivion remake, with some predicting a 2024 or 2025 release. Xbox insider Jez Corden even suggested a January 2025 reveal during an Xbox Developer Direct, although this event remains unconfirmed. The possibility, however, is bolstered by the company's previous Developer Directs in January 2023 and 2024.

The potential Oblivion remake adds further excitement to an already anticipated 2025 for Elder Scrolls fans. Many are also eagerly awaiting a new trailer for The Elder Scrolls VI, the highly anticipated sequel. While Bethesda has confirmed TES VI as their next major project after Starfield, a release window remains elusive, with director Todd Howard suggesting a timeframe 15-17 years after Skyrim's release.

The legacy of Oblivion, released in 2006, continues to resonate. Its expansive world, impressive graphics (for its time), and memorable soundtrack garnered significant praise. The ongoing Skyblivion project, a fan-made recreation in Skyrim's engine, also hints at the enduring appeal of this title, with a potential 2025 release date for the mod itself. The convergence of these factors points towards a potentially exciting year for fans of the Elder Scrolls franchise.
