A remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, an updated version of Todd Howard and Bethesda Game Studios’ critically acclaimed 2006 action RPG, may be unveiled during Microsoft’s next Xbox Direct event, which is slated for January, according to new rumors shared by a Spanish leaker going by the alias eXtas1s. “Love this game, and I wish that Skyrim didn’t dilute the rpg mechanics to such a ridiculous degree,” reads a positive review for the Game of the Year Edition of the RPG, which Bethesda released in September 2007, bundling the Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles expansions. See below for the original word from eXtas1s regarding the remake that, per older rumors, is being developed by Virtuos and built in Unreal Engine 5, potentially releasing in 2025.

Oblivion is nice, be super nice to get a Morrowind remake too.
Yep, it would be amusing to see a Bethesda release timeline with all the remakes/anniversary editions,etc., marked off on it.
At least it isn't Skyrim again.
Skyrim with bug fixes and fully updated to ue 5 or 6 could get me going again.
UE these days is probably buggier then the one from Bethesda.
Maybe they could use CryEngine . . . :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:. . . .still laughing inside.
I think you meant crying.. love the in the know star citizen reference.
Oblivion is the best Elder Scrolls game, imo, still not too excited about a remake. It's Bethesda, anything they update probably has been done better by a mod already.
Oblivion is one of those games I played to dust. Skyrim, too, but that is another story. I still occasionally get the urge to install Oblivion and mess around with it. But the number of QOL and graphics mods mostly required to modernize it and make it somewhat enjoyable again become tedious to download, install, organize, sort, bash, etc. So I usually take a pass. I would be interested in an updated, with modern graphics, version where I didn't have to go through all of that. But my expectations for Bethesda actually coming through where it matters are low, and this would be for a once-in-a-great-while play, so I'm not sure it's worth the effort other than to reintroduce the game to a younger audience that originally missed out on it in its heyday.
I would really like to see Arena, Daggerfall, Battlespire, Morrowind, and Redguard remade and brought into the modern graphics era. Imagine Daggerfall with Skyrim graphics. Good stuff.
