Could it be real? A new listing in the Steam database has sparked a wildfire of speculation across the Elder Scrolls community: Oblivion Remastered might be closer than we thought.
For fans who’ve been patiently (or not-so-patiently) waiting for The Elder Scrolls VI, this potential remaster of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion could be the perfect return to Cyrodiil. And if the leaks are true, we might not be waiting long.
What Sparked the Rumors?
It all began with a curious update spotted on SteamDB—a mysterious app ID loosely tied to Bethesda. While there’s been no official confirmation, the timing and breadcrumbs have fans buzzing.
“Oblivion Remastered? I just got out of the sewer again last week. Don’t make me do it all over again… oh who am I kidding.”
Add in cryptic branch names and a sudden rise in speculation, and you’ve got all the ingredients for a classic “leak or elaborate troll” moment.
Is It Actually Happening?
Maybe. Bethesda has been known to play things close to the chest—especially lately. With the modding community already modernizing Oblivion, an official remaster would need to offer more than just a fresh coat of paint.
Still, the demand is real. Performance upgrades, quality-of-life fixes, and graphical polish? Yes, please.
Our Take
Rumors are flying faster than a courier from Bruma, with whispers that Oblivion Remastered may drop at 12 PM on April 21st, 2025. Is it real? Is it bait? Is it just Todd Howard toying with our emotions again?
We say: cautiously stock your potions and sharpen your swords.
If it does drop, it could go down as one of the biggest stealth launches in gaming history—and Bethesda’s most effective distraction from the decade-long wait for Elder Scrolls VI.
If not? Well… there’s always memes, mods, and that one save file you never finished because you accidentally punched a guard.
