Further evidence of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remake seems to have been discovered, but no one quite knows when Bethesda will unveil it. There were already rumours of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion getting a modern remaster floating around in 2023 and, a few months later, Microsoft only emboldened them when it accidentally shared documents covering Bethesda’s line-up of upcoming games.

By December 2024, though, this supposed remaster had evolved into a full remake, with a few insiders claiming it will launch in 2025, after a formal reveal in January. Now even more information seems to have leaked but despite a new Xbox Developer Direct showcase happening this month, it seems an official announcement may still be a while off.
Based on what we know so far, it’s looking likely that the Oblivion remake won’t be featured as part of the Xbox Developer Direct. Microsoft has already said which games will be featured at the showcase and while Bethesda will make an appearance with its new Doom title, Microsoft has made no mention of anything related to The Elder Scrolls.
There is one new mystery game Microsoft has teased, but one rumour says it’s a new entry in a ‘legendary Japanese IP,’ which obviously rules out the Western-made Elder Scrolls series. Additionally, insider eXtas1stv, who was among those pushing the Oblivion remake’s existence and accurately predicted the date for the January Developer Direct, has claimed the remake won’t be featured during the showcase, but is still on track for a 2025 launch.
