Rumored Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remake Details Emerge
Recent leaks suggest a full-scale Unreal Engine 5 remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, potentially launching in June 2025, developed by Virtuos. While unconfirmed by Bethesda or Microsoft, these leaks detail significant improvements and a unique gameplay element.
The most intriguing detail centers on the game's combat system. While not a Soulslike game itself, the remake reportedly incorporates blocking mechanics inspired by the Soulslike genre. This, along with other purported upgrades, suggests a more refined and modern experience.
Further leaked information points to enhancements in stealth mechanics, a more forgiving stamina system, a redesigned HUD, improved hit reactions, and enhanced archery. These improvements aim to modernize the classic title while retaining its core identity.
The source of these leaks is a website attributed to a former Virtuos employee, as reported by MP1st. This adds a layer of intrigue, although the information remains unverified.
Speculation surrounding a reveal at the January 23rd Xbox Developer Direct event has been debunked by several leakers. While the event will showcase Doom: The Dark Ages, South of Midnight, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and an undisclosed title, the Oblivion remake's appearance remains uncertain. Fans will have to await official confirmation from Bethesda or Microsoft for concrete details.
