Overview

  • Jeff Grubb, a reliable industry insider, claims the Oblivion remake could shadow drop at any moment in April 2025, aligning with earlier speculation.
  • The remake is reportedly being developed by Virtuos using Unreal Engine 5, featuring overhauled gameplay systems like stamina, sneaking, blocking, and archery.
  • Conflicting reports have emerged about the release timing, with some suggesting a launch during the week of April 21 after the Elder Scrolls Online anniversary event concludes.
  • The project has faced skepticism due to inconsistent insider claims and the lack of any official acknowledgment from Bethesda or Microsoft.
  • Speculation about the remake has persisted since 2023, originating from leaked FTC court documents that listed an Oblivion remaster as a potential project.
