The anticipation for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remake is nearing its crescendo. After months of speculation, leaks, and insider whispers, Bethesda has officially broken its silence. As confirmed by a post on their official X account, the full reveal and showcase of the remake will take place tomorrow, April 22, 2025, at 8 a.m. PT / 11 a.m. ET / 4 p.m. BT on both YouTube and Twitch.

According to a trusted source, Lord Cognito via the Defining Duke Podcast, the remake will feature the base game and all DLC content, including:

  • Shivering Isles

  • Knights of the Nine

  • Horse Armor Pack

  • Faction-themed homes

  • Additional spells

  • A bonus dungeon

This suggests a near-complete restoration of the original experience—every add-on, every corner of Cyrodiil.

What’s New

Reportedly built using Unreal Engine 5, the game is set to receive a complete visual overhaul. Expect richer lighting, high-fidelity textures, and a renewed atmosphere that does justice to Oblivion’s haunting beauty.

Combat updates are also on the table:

  • Enhanced hit reactions

  • Improved archery mechanics

  • Better stamina system (reduced knockdown when depleted)

  • Possibly modernized controls and animations

Release Window

Originally, rumours hinted at an April 21 release, but that seems to have been premature, likely referencing the reveal date instead. Now, insider reports suggest the game could drop sometime this week, potentially even immediately following tomorrow’s reveal.

Platforms

Confirmed platforms include Xbox and PC. While it’s uncertain whether PS5 will receive the remake at launch, there’s a possibility of timed exclusivity for Xbox before a broader release.

Final Thoughts

With the full reveal mere hours away, all eyes are on Bethesda to deliver on this long-awaited return to Cyrodiil. Whether you’re in it for the nostalgia, the new tech, or the hope of more Elder Scrolls news to follow (cough TES VI), tomorrow’s showcase is not one to miss.
