Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remake details surface as leaker says it's coming in June

Fresh details of Bethesda’s long-rumoured – but as yet unannounced – Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remake have surfaced in a new leak, alongside word it could well be arriving this June.

An Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remake – supposedly being developed in Unreal Engine 5 – was first rumoured in July 2023, when a former Virtuos employee posted to Reddit claiming it was in the works at the Chinese studio. Curiously, references to an Oblivion then emerged later that year, spotted in an internal Microsoft document from 2020 that was leaked during the company’s court battle with the FTC, lending at least some credence to the earlier claim.

But that wasn’t the end of it. Earlier this month, a Virtuos technical art director updated their LinkedIn profile to highlight their work on a mysterious “unannounced Unreal Engine 5 remake”, and now another former employee has – seemingly unintentionally – shared more explicit details of a Virtuos-developed Oblivion remake on their own website.

As reported by MP1st, the unnamed employee – who is said to have worked on the project between 2023 and 2024 – described the game as a “fully remade” version of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, developed (as previously rumoured) in Unreal 5. The former Virtuos employee is also said to have referenced six gameplay systems reworked for the remake: stamina, sneaking, blocking, archery, hit reaction, and HUD.
