The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion’s remake may not have appeared at the recent Xbox Developer_Direct as many had hoped it would. Regardless, it’s seemingly still not too far away.
That’s as per journalist Tom Warren, who has claimed in newsletter on The Verge that the open world action RPG remake is targeting a release sometime in late Spring or early Summer, based on what he’s been told.
Rumours first emerged in 2023 that Bethesda’s acclaimed 2006 RPG was being remade in collaboration with Virtuos. The project allegedly uses a combination of the original title’s engine and Unreal Engine 5. A recent report claimed that the remake will feature several gameplay enhancements, with reworks for blocking, stamina mechanics, archery, sneaking mechanics, and more.
Earlier this month, a Virtuos employee’s LinkedIn project made mention of an unannounced Unreal Engine 5 remake, further adding fuel to the rumours surrounding the Oblivion remake. Read more on that through here.
