If you’ve explored every corner of Skyrim, exhausted the space adventures of Starfield, and the wait for The Elder Scrolls 6 feels endless, I’ve got some exciting news for you. Word on the street is that Bethesda’s cherished classic is making a comeback. Rumors have been swirling for a while, but it seems we might finally have a tangible confirmation of The Elder Scrolls Oblivion remaster. A substantial leak has surfaced online, showcasing numerous side-by-side screenshots comparing this anticipated update to the original 2006 RPG. It looks like an official announcement could be just around the corner.
While the release of The Elder Scrolls 6 remains a distant dream and Skyrim edges closer to its 14th anniversary, it appears one of Bethesda’s finest RPGs is receiving a dazzling transformation. Fans have been treated to leaked images of the Oblivion remaster, apparently originating from Virtuos’ website. This studio is no stranger to the gaming scene, previously contributing to titles like Sea of Thieves, New World Aeternum, Age of Mythology, and Stellar Blade. The leaked screenshots offer glimpses of beloved Oblivion locales, juxtaposing their 2006 versions with the expected remastered visuals. You can see the comparisons for yourself below:

Chatter about an Oblivion remaster has been around since 2020, and momentum has built considerably over the last few months. Some insiders and fans speculate that Bethesda might sneakily release the remaster this month, possibly within the next week.
Meanwhile, there’s another exciting project on the horizon for the Oblivion faithful. Fans are also creating a rendition of Oblivion known as Skyblivion, which is essentially rebuilding the 19-year-old classic using Skyrim’s game engine. This fan-made version is slated for a 2025 release. With these leaks making the rounds, there’s a strong chance Bethesda will soon make the official announcement we’ve all been waiting for.
