Tue Apr 22 14:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Oblivion Remake Officially Announced: Release Imminent?

**Redmond, WA –** Microsoft has confirmed long-rumored rumors of a remake of *The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion*, revealing a livestream event scheduled for tomorrow, April 22nd, at 11 AM ET (8 AM PT) on Twitch and YouTube. The announcement follows months of speculation fueled by court documents and leaks from multiple reputable sources.

Developed by Virtuous using Unreal Engine 5, the remake promises significant visual improvements and modernized gameplay mechanics. Leaked information suggests changes to combat, archery, and the stamina system, and early screenshots from Virtuous itself showcase a stunning graphical overhaul. The game is not a remaster, but a full remake. A leaked file size of 120 GB further hints at a substantial upgrade.

Many speculate that the livestream will culminate in a surprise release, given the reportedly prepared listings on platforms like Steam. While the exact release date remains unconfirmed, the announcement strongly suggests a launch is imminent, possibly as early as tomorrow, or certainly by the end of the week.

The project is a separate undertaking from Bethesda’s highly anticipated *Elder Scrolls VI*, currently without a confirmed release date. This *Oblivion* remake, despite its largely under-the-radar development and leak-filled reveal, is poised to be a significant release in 2024. The game’s popularity combined with fan fatigue surrounding repeated *Skyrim* re-releases suggests strong potential for success.
