The long-awaited relaunch of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has taken a significant step closer to reality, thanks to a leak on developer Virtuos' website. Screenshots and images have surfaced, showcasing what appears to be The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, with significant upgrades in graphics and detail.
These images were discovered and quickly shared across gaming forums like ResetEra and Reddit. The leak originated from Virtuos' site, which has since become largely inaccessible, with only the main landing page remaining functional. Despite the swift removal of the content, the internet has already seen and spread numerous screenshots and details of the remastered game.
According to VGC, the project titled The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is a joint effort between Virtuos and Bethesda's studios in Dallas and Rockville. Virtuos, known for their work on remasters like The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition, brings their expertise to enhance this classic title.
The remastered version is set to launch on PC, Xbox Series X|S (available on Game Pass), and PlayStation 5. Additionally, a Deluxe Edition is rumored to be available, offering exclusive bonuses such as special weapons and the iconic horse armor, a playful reference to the controversial 2006 DLC.
Rumors of an Oblivion remaster have been circulating for years, with the earliest hints coming from leaked documents during the Microsoft-FTC trial in 2023. Recent reports suggested that the remaster might even shadow-drop this month.
While no official statement or reveal has been made yet, the substantial evidence from the leak points strongly toward an imminent release of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered.
