A
remake
or
remaster
of
the
iconic
Elder
Scrolls
IV:
Oblivion
has
been
widely
known
about
for
years
now
after
first
appearing
in
the
infamous
Nvidia
leak.
Since
then
it
has
been
reported
on
numerous
times
and
we’ve
learned
that
it’s

being
developed
by
Virtous
and
will
include
gameplay
tweaks.
Recently,
though,
the
rumours
have
powered
up
and
everything
seems
to
it
pointing
to
the
Oblivion
remake
or
remaster
not
just
being
announced
this
month,
but
actually
releasing.

This
time
it’s
journalist
Jeff
Grubb
backing
up
the
claims
that
the
Elder
Scrolls:
Oblivion
remake/remaster
will
be
dropped
this
month.
Speaking
on
the
latest
episode
of
Power
Block,
Grubb
commented
that
he
had
“been
told
it’s
going
to
shadow
drop
at
any
moment
this
month…
It’s
going
to
shadow
drop
pretty
soon.”

Nate
the
Hate
said
back
in
March
that
the
remake/remaster
would
launch
in
April,
and
he
has
reiterated
those
claims
several
times
now
since.

Other
people
have
also
stated
that
Oblivion
is
arriving
this
month,
such
as
Detective
Seeds,
although
his
track
record
isn’t
very
impressive
so
far.
He
originally
claimed
the
game
would
be
launched
earlier
this
month
but
has
since
stated
that
his
initial
information
was
incorrect
and
that
it
will
come
out
in
the
week
after
the
upcoming
Elder
Scrolls
Online
Anniversary
Jubilee
event
on
April
21.

Look
for
Oblivion
remake
game
week
of
April
21st
after
the
ESO
anniversary
event
ends.
Initial
info
timeline
was
off,
I
own
it,
it
happens
doing
this.
HIGHLY
confident
on
dropping
after
event
concludes
as
it
is
from
more
than
1
person.
The
project
is
100%
real
for
those
doubting…

The
question,
of
course,
is
why
Bethesda
and
Microsoft
would
want
to
shadow-drop
something
as
potentially
lucrative
as
an
Oblivion
re-release.
The
game
was
massively
popular
and
you’d
think
the
companies
would
want
to
make
a
much
bigger
deal
out
of
it,
especially
since
shadow-dropping
Hi-Fi
Rush
didn’t
turn
out
to
be
a
great
idea.
Presumably
they
reckon
the
Elder
Scrolls
name
is
more
than
enough
to
ensure
a
big
launch.

So
far
it
seems
nobody
can
agree
on
a
precise
date,
but
at
this
point
the
evidence
appears
strong
enough
to
say
with
a
high
degree
of
certainly
that
Oblivion
is
coming
this
month.
I
cannot
wait.
