Oblivion Remake Leak Suggests It\'s Taking Some Inspiration From Soulslikes

Rumored Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remake Details Emerge

Recent leaks suggest a full-scale Unreal Engine 5 remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, potentially launching in June 2025, developed by Virtuos. While unconfirmed by Bethesda or Microsoft, these leaks paint a picture of a significantly upgraded experience.

Key takeaways from the leaks include:

• June 2025 Release Date: A purported release window of June 2025 has surfaced. This should be treated as speculation until officially confirmed.
• Unreal Engine 5 Remake: The project is reportedly a complete remake utilizing Unreal Engine 5, not a simple remaster.
• Soulslike-Inspired Blocking: The game's blocking system is rumored to draw inspiration from the Soulslike genre, though it will not be a Soulslike game itself.
• Gameplay Enhancements: Leaks point to improvements in stealth mechanics, stamina management, the heads-up display (HUD), hit reactions, and archery.

The source of this information is a website allegedly created by a former Virtuos employee, as reported by MP1st. While intriguing, the lack of official confirmation necessitates caution. The January 23rd Xbox Developer Direct event was initially speculated to reveal the remake, but this has been debunked by several leakers. While the Oblivion remake may not be present, the event will showcase Doom: The Dark Ages, South of Midnight, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and an undisclosed mystery game.

Fans eagerly await official confirmation from Bethesda or Microsoft regarding the existence and details of this highly anticipated remake.
