TheElder Scrolls 4: Oblivionremaster is seemingly real, and fans have gotten their first look at it, thanks to leaks from the official Virtuos Games website. Rumors about a remake or remaster of the game have circled for a long time now, and the body of evidence has continued to grow as time goes on, but specifics about the game’s release have remained a mystery. While the latest leak doesn’t clarify everything, it does likely confirm that theElder Scrolls 4: Oblivionremaster is coming and will be released on multiple platforms.
Bethesda still has not confirmed anything about the long-rumored remaster, but fans have been all but sure of its eventual release for a while. There were plenty of signs pointing toward it being a reality, although none were a complete guarantee. Fans recentlynoticed that theOblivionSteam page had been updated, leading many to believe the rumored release was imminent, though other Zenimax titles showing similar changes cast some suspicion over that possibility. This new leak, however, leaves little room for doubt.
On July 17, 2025, leakedOblivionremaster images popped up on a ResetEra threadas fans dug into now-deleted content on Virtuos Games' website.

As such, it’s unclear if it’ll takethe opportunity to modernizeOblivion’s combator make any other quality-of-life improvements, but the game certainly looks better than its original 2006 release.
