The remake ofThe Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivionis real, andBethesda has scheduled a livestreamto tell us all about it. Among the storiedElder Scrollsseries,Oblivionfits right in: while it was ahead of its time upon release, with an expansive and highly reactive open world, it’s since become visibly dated, with criticism focused on its clunky combat, blown-out visuals, andfrankly odd NPC AI.Rumors of anOblivionremaketo address these issues have been ongoing since at least the beginning of the year.
But at the same time,Oblivionis undeniably iconic, and maintains a significant fan base today. A remake will undoubtedly garner all sorts of praise, criticism, and comparison, both to the originalOblivionand to thefan-made remake in theSkyrimengine,Skyblivion(which is still in development).All eyes will be on Bethesda’s livestreamto find out more about this highly anticipated release.

What To Expect From The Oblivion Remake Livestream
The Remake Is Still A Mystery
Frankly, there’s a lot we don’t know about theOblivionremake livestream, much like the remake itself, andthat includes its runtime. It could be a quick, 30-second teaser, or it could be an hour-long deep dive intotheOblivionremake’s gameplay improvements. And we don’t really know what those gameplay improvements look like, if they exist at all. While images of theOblivionremake were purportedly leakedlast week, there’s no way to know whether those were accurate until we finally see in-game screenshots for ourselves.
Rumor also has it thattheOblivionremake could be shadowdropped immediately after its revealduring Bethesda’s livestream tomorrow. It’s important to note, though, that this has never been addressed by Bethesda; it’s entirely possible that this is just a rumor. It’s also been suggested that theOblivionremakecould be aday-one Game Pass release, similar to other recent Microsoft-published remakes likeNinja Gaiden Black.
What we do know, though, is that the remake is all but confirmed, and, barring a surpriseElder Scrolls 6reveal, it’s likely to be the sole focus of the livestream tomorrow. For the rest, we’ll have to tune into Bethesda’s official social media channels tomorrow morning to learn Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivionremake.
