Bethesda Game Studios has officially announced that a remastered version of the beloved RPG classic The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion will be unveiled during a global livestream event on April 22. The revelation, which ends years of fervent speculation, was shared via a cryptic yet thrilling tweet from Bethesda’s official account, accompanied by a brief teaser hinting at a return to the rolling hills and shadowy dungeons of Cyrodiil.

Originally released in 2006, Oblivion revolutionized open-world gaming with its sprawling landscapes, dynamic AI, and richly woven narrative. Despite its age, the game retains a devoted fanbase, many of whom have long clamored for a modernized version. Rumors of a remaster gained traction last year after leaked concept art hinted at updated character models and enhanced environmental textures, but Bethesda remained tight-lipped—until now.
Industry insiders speculate the remaster could include 4K resolution support, revamped combat mechanics, and quality-of-life improvements like faster load times and updated UI. Others hope for restored content cut from the original game, such as unfinished questlines or locations. Bethesda has yet to confirm specifics, but the studio’s tweet teasing “a new dawn for Cyrodiil” suggests ambitious changes.
The announcement has already set forums and social media ablaze, with hashtags like #OblivionRemastered and #GateToOblivion trending worldwide. “I’ve waited 15 years for this moment—my nostalgia is ready!” tweeted one fan, echoing the sentiments of thousands. Even voice actor Wes Johnson, famed for his portrayal of the adoring fan Sheogorath, joined the hype, posting a cheeky “Someone’s been practicing their sneak skill…” on Instagram.
The April 22 livestream will not only showcase gameplay but is expected to reveal release windows, platform availability, and potential tie-ins to Bethesda’s broader Elder Scrolls universe. With The Elder Scrolls VI still years away, this remaster could be the perfect bridge to keep fans immersed in Tamriel.
Mark your calendars and ready your hype—the gates to Oblivion are reopening, and Tamriel awaits.
