Summary

• A developer's LinkedIn profile hints at the active development of an Oblivion remake using Unreal Engine 5.
• Fans are eagerly anticipating an Oblivion remake reveal during an Xbox Developer Direct in 2025, though the event hasn't been confirmed.
• Many are eager for a new Elder Scrolls 6 trailer in 2025.

The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion may be getting a much-anticipated remake, as suggested by a developer's LinkedIn profile. Rumors of an Oblivion remake have been circulating for years, with recent leaks adding fuel to the speculation. A 2023 rumor suggested a potential release in 2024 or 2025. Xbox insider Jez Corden predicted that the reveal could happen during an Xbox Developer Direct in January 2025, although this event has yet to be confirmed. Given the history of Developer Directs in January 2023 and 2024, this seems plausible.

A Technical Art Director at Virtuos, a China-based developer rumored to be working on the project, mentioned on LinkedIn that they are involved in an "unannounced Unreal Engine 5 remake for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S." While the game isn't named, many believe it to be the Oblivion remake, especially since the use of Unreal Engine 5 suggests a full remake rather than a remaster. This aligns with the earlier rumors of a Fallout 3 remaster, though its status remains unclear.

LinkedIn Page Adds Credence to Oblivion Remake Rumors

Oblivion, released in 2006 as the follow-up to The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind, received widespread acclaim for its expansive open world, stunning graphics, and memorable soundtrack. Since 2012, a dedicated community has been working on Skyblivion, a mod that recreates Oblivion using Skyrim's engine. The development team recently released a video update, hinting at a 2025 release for this ambitious project.

The future of The Elder Scrolls series remains shrouded in mystery. The first and only trailer for The Elder Scrolls 6 was released in 2018. Bethesda Game Studios has indicated that this will be their next major project following Starfield, with director Todd Howard estimating a release 15 to 17 years after Skyrim. While a specific release window for The Elder Scrolls 6 is still pending, fans are hopeful for a new trailer by the end of 2025.
