As we navigate through the buzzing world of 2025 videogame rumors, one project stands out brightly: a potential remake of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. This cherished gem from the fantasy RPG series seems ripe for a modern-day revival. Yet, despite the excitement, Bethesda hasn’t confirmed its existence. However, with numerous hints and whispers floating around, it’s hard not to believe it’s on the horizon. Some fresh reports even suggest we might get to experience it as soon as next month.
In the meantime, dedicated Elder Scrolls modders have been hard at work bringing Oblivion into the Skyrim engine. This fan-driven project, years in the making, might find itself suddenly in competition with an official Bethesda-endorsed remake—assuming the rumors hold water. On the bright side, this could give us something to dive into while we anxiously await the launch of The Elder Scrolls 6. Earlier in the year, there were claims that this remaster of TES 4 was only a few months away from our consoles and PCs. Now, newer reports are pinning down a more exact timeline.
A prominent insider known as ‘NateTheHate’ has put forth that official news regarding the Oblivion remake might land “either this month or next,” with a full release expected before June. On top of NateTheHate’s insights, VGC’s sources have stepped in, supporting this timeline and going further to say it “could arrive as soon as next month.”
If we take these speculations at face value, we might see a release by April. With NateTheHate indicating that announcements are imminent, one date in particular stands out to me for Bethesda’s potential reveal. March 20 falls on a Thursday this year and marks 19 years since Oblivion first graced our screens. Though not a significant milestone anniversary, this date could offer a meaningful backdrop for unveiling a remake. While this is just my speculation, the wealth of reports and intel suggests that we’ll not only hear about the Oblivion remake soon but perhaps even get our hands on it within the next few months. How exciting!
Given Bethesda’s current focus on Fallout 76, a new Starfield expansion, and the ever-anticipated TES 6, it appears that the Oblivion remake is being entrusted to another studio, likely pointing to Virtuos. Known for their roles as co-developers on major titles like Horizon Forbidden West, Halo Infinite, and Call of Duty Modern Warfare, Virtuos is no stranger to handling high-stakes, beloved franchises.
While we wait for what seems to be an inevitable announcement, why not delve back into the Elder Scrolls world with some top-tier Skyrim mods or revisit some classic RPGs?
