OblivionBethesdaThe development of an Elder Scrolls: Oblivion remake was leaked back in 2023 by a supposed developer, but also in a court document shortly after. So, it seemed pretty clear it was happening, and the question was just, when?The answer may be now. Or very close to now.Multiple reports have surfaced in the past day from the likes of insider NatetheHate with VGC saying something similar. Nate says the Oblivion remake could be here before June. VGC says it may actually arrive next month.This is not some sort of full-on Bethesda project, rather its being developed by Virtuous, who has worked on loads of different high profile games, and their latest remake contribution besides this one is Konamis Metal Gear Solid 3 remake.This is a pretty elaborate project, with the entire game being remade in Unreal Engine 5, and a number of reworked gameplay systems that include:The HUD Meant to be easier to understand for new playersStamina Meant to be less frustrating and for players to be knocked down less when its depletedHit Reactions Meant to improve combat on both the player and enemy sideBlocking Meant to be inspired by Souls-like gamesSneaking Meant to have sneak icons more highlightedArchery Meant to make it modern for third and first person play (Stealth Archer, here we come).This may make you feel ancient, but the original Elder Scrolls: Oblivion was released in 2006, making this a project manifesting a full 19 years later. Given that, its no wonder that it has to be effectively remade in a modern engine, along with granting quality of life updates for aging systems.What we do not have is any sort of real look at what this is going to be like, though if this really is going to drop imminently, thats either going to happen soon, or it will be a stealth release, as Xbox has been prone to do in the past. I havent seen what platforms this is confirmed for, but Im going to say its a 95% chance it will be heading to PlayStation. I also believe its like a 90% chance that The Elder Scrolls 6 will launch there as well, given Microsofts latest strategies about multiplatform releases, and how they would no doubt want to sell 15+ million copies of the game on a different console, if theyll be doing a Game Pass launch themselves.As for the Oblivion remake, expect more information soon, and if its a launch next month? Thats going to be pretty wild. Cant wait to see what its like.Follow me , and .Pick up my sci-fi novels the and
