It’s true. It’s all true. The rumors, the leaks, the grainy screenshots, the late-night Reddit theories written in the tone of a man who’s had fourteen cups of coffee and a vision from Akatosh himself — all of it. Bethesda has officially confirmed the long-whispered Oblivion Remaster, and our hands are already trembling as we reach for the Quick Save key.
Across both their official Bethesda and Elder Scrolls social channels, the studio dropped the kind of teaser that slaps harder than a Daedric warhammer. It’s a simple image: an armored warrior, dark and regal, looming like a nostalgic fever dream. Centered over them? The text: “IV. Tomorrow.” Just that. Along with a link to their YouTube and Twitch channels and the time 11:00 a.m. EST.

That’s right — we’re getting a full reveal tomorrow, and we’re already foaming at the mouth like we just chugged a bottle of skooma.
This lines up perfectly with the recent Virtuos Games website leak that spilled a whole chalice of details, including side-by-side visual comparisons and mention of a Deluxe Edition that probably includes some bonus cosmetics (and hopefully the ability to swing a sword without it looking like you’re swatting a fly). And now, Bethesda has taken the stage to say, essentially: “Yeah, you saw the leak. Now here comes the real deal.”
What we’re getting isn’t just a lazy port. According to the leak (and now heavily implied by the epic teaser), this is an extremely thorough remaster — we are talking full-on graphics overhaul, UI overhaul, and allegedly a combat overhaul. If all this is true, and we have it on good authority that it is, this is going to be a fantastic Elder Scrolls experience that will surely hold us over until Elder Scrolls 6 come out on the PlayStation 7 in the year 2043.
While we don’t know all the details just yet, we do know this: we’re going back to Cyrodiil, baby. The Imperial City. Bravil. That one house in Anvil where the painting eats you. It’s happening. And while Skyrim has hogged the spotlight for over a decade, it’s finally time for Oblivion to rise again, fully reimagined for modern hardware and modern eyes.
So set your alarm. Sharpen your blade. Practice your persuasion mini-game.
“IV. Tomorrow.”
We’ll be there. And you better believe we’ll be choosing The Steed like it’s 2006 all over again.
