New Evidence of Rumored Elder Scrolls 4 Remake Surfaces

Oblivion Remake Hints Emerge: Unreal Engine 5 and 2025 Release Speculation

A developer's LinkedIn profile fuels speculation about an Oblivion remake built using Unreal Engine 5. While unconfirmed, many anticipate an official reveal during a potential Xbox Developer Direct in 2025, a recurring event in previous years. This excitement coincides with widespread fan anticipation for a new Elder Scrolls 6 trailer.

The persistent rumors surrounding an Oblivion remake, including a 2023 prediction of a 2024/2025 release, have gained traction. Xbox insider Jez Corden's January 2025 prediction for a Developer Direct reveal adds further fuel to the fire, although this remains unconfirmed. Recent leaks further support the possibility.

A key piece of evidence emerges from the LinkedIn profile of a Technical Art Director at Virtuos, a studio reportedly involved in the project. The profile lists work on an "unannounced Unreal Engine 5 remake for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S." While not explicitly naming Oblivion, the context and engine specification strongly suggest it's the target game, potentially shifting expectations from a remaster to a full-fledged remake. Separate rumors of a Fallout 3 remaster surfaced in late 2023, but their current status remains unclear.

LinkedIn Profile Strengthens Oblivion Remake Claims

Released in 2006, Oblivion, the sequel to Morrowind (2002), garnered significant praise for its expansive world, visuals, and score. Since 2012, the dedicated Skyblivion modding community has been working on recreating Oblivion within Skyrim's engine, recently hinting at a potential 2025 release.

The future of the Elder Scrolls franchise remains shrouded in mystery. The sole trailer for Elder Scrolls 6 debuted in 2018, with Bethesda Game Studios prioritizing Starfield before tackling their next major project. Director Todd Howard's estimated release window of "15 to 17 years after Skyrim" leaves a considerable timeframe. However, fans remain hopeful for a new trailer before the end of 2025.
