Summary
March 20 marked the 19th anniversary ofThe Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, but the auspicious day came and passed without Bethesda announcing the game’s rumored remake. As rumors of anOblivionremake continue to swirl, many in the community are eager for the original game’s developer to provide a statement regarding the highly anticipated project.
Still beloved by many fans of theElder Scrollsseries nearly two decades following its initial release in 2006,Oblivioncontinues to be praised by new and returning players for its story, music, and massive open world. Rumors of a remake have popped up for years, with Windows Central Executive Editor Jez Cordon claiming thatXbox would reveal theOblivionremasterduring a January 2025 presentation late last year. This didn’t come to pass, but speculation and predictions continue to appear online, with more and more concrete evidence coming to light about the potential project. Unfortunately, the community was recently let down once again, with Bethesda dropping the ball on a very important day.
Oblivionturned 19 on July 13, 2025, but instead of getting an announcement about the game’s remaster, fans were instead met by a single celebratory post on the official Bethesda Game Studios Twitter page. The post shows a sweetroll with a single candle placed atop it, with the studio thanking the title for “sharing in our worlds.” Rather than sharing in the festive mood, the comments section is largely filled with fans asking about the game’s remake or more information aboutThe Elder Scrolls 6. Recent rumors indicate thattheOblivionremake was initially aiming for a June release, and many wonder why Bethesda hasn’t even mentioned the title so close to its launch.
