New Information Regarding Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remake Surfaces, Screenshots Reveal Significant Visual and Mechanical Changes

It looks like the rumors have finally been confirmed – a remake of Bethesda’s iconic Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion has been quietly working its way into existence. But don’t just take my word for it; Eurogamer has published conclusive evidence in the form of actual screenshots from the game, straight from developer Virtuos’ website.

According to these screenshots, which have been preserved on imgur and corroborated by multiple sources as coming directly from Virtuos’ servers, it appears that the remake is not only real but also poised for a surprise release next week. Yes, you read that right – as early as next week, fans may be able to get their hands on this long-rumored remake.

The screenshots in question offer a fascinating glimpse into the game’s visuals and mechanics, showcasing comparison shots with the original 2006 version. For those who have been holding their breath since the initial rumors began circulating back in 2020, it seems like all that waiting has finally paid off.

But what exactly can fans expect from this remake? According to a former Virtuos employee’s claims, which were reported on back in 2023, the game is being rebuilt from the ground up using Unreal Engine 5. This means that several gameplay systems have been completely overhauled, including stamina, archery, sneaking, blocking, and hit reaction. Additionally, the HUD (heads-up display) has reportedly received a fresh coat of paint.

It’s worth noting that Bethesda themselves have yet to comment on these developments, but we’ve reached out for an official statement and will update this article accordingly once we receive one.

In the meantime, fans are left with only one question: will Microsoft indeed surprise-drop the game next week, or might we see some clarification at their Xbox summer showcase event scheduled for June 8? Only time (and Bethesda’s lips) can tell.
