Oblivion Remaster Release Date Leaked — September 19, 2023

A remaster of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion was originally planned to be released in 2022, according to internal documents that were inadvertently made public as part of FTC v. Microsoft. The court documents include an internal Bethesda release schedule dated to 2020, prior to the company's acquisition by Microsoft. The same list also revealed that The Elder Scrolls VI was originally scheduled for release in 2024. In separate court documents, Microsoft has stated that TES VI is not currently expected to be released until at least 2026.

Bethesda has not officially announced the development of an Oblivion remaster, although it comes on the back of rumors that appeared online in July 2023 suggesting that a remaster is currently being worked on by a third party studio, Virtuos Games. Microsoft has since deleted the non-public documents from the U.S. court website where they were published.
