The Elder Scrolls franchise could be back sooner than expected. New leaks suggest that The Elder Scrolls VI: Oblivion remake might be released as early as tomorrow, April 3, 2025. This unexpected move would make it one of the most dramatic surprise launches in recent AAA game history.
While Bethesda has yet to confirm the game’s existence, credible leakers like Detective Seeds and NateTheHate say it’s real, and ready. “I believe the Oblivion remake is going to release end of next week, likely Thursday April 3rd,” posted Detective Seeds on X (formerly Twitter).
Backing up that claim, NateTheHate also weighed in: “Either this month or next month. Release is likely to be sooner than the original June target; but still working to get details on an updated release date.” He added that a “shadow drop” is highly possible, and that Bethesda may opt for a “reveal and release in the same week.”
According to earlier reports, the remake is being developed by Virtuous Games using Unreal Engine 5, which would mark a major technical leap from the original 2006 release. Updated mechanics, reworked combat systems, and modern visuals are all said to be part of the package.
While Bethesda has not made an official statement, fans are already watching Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation storefronts for any sudden uploads. Reddit and Discord communities are buzzing with countdown threads and speculative patch tracking.
The original Oblivion is a cult classic in the RPG world. Released in 2006, it introduced players to the sprawling province of Cyrodiil, where players could join factions, close demon-filled gates, and decide the fate of an empire. With its blend of open-world design and fantasy depth, it laid the groundwork for Skyrim and many other RPGs that followed.
This potential remake isn’t to be confused with The Elder Scrolls VI, which remains in early development stages with no firm release window. The Oblivion project appears to be separate and may serve as a way to re-engage fans while the mainline sequel is still years away.
Some players remain skeptical. Bethesda’s silence has sparked concerns that the remake might not live up to expectations, or worse, might not exist at all. But the track records of the leakers involved, combined with recent backend activity spotted on online marketplaces, suggest something major is indeed brewing.
Whether it drops tomorrow or later in April, one thing is clear: Oblivion is back in the conversation, and the gaming world is watching closely.
If the leak is accurate, prepare to re-enter the Imperial City, this time in glorious next-gen detail.
