It's Official Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remake Reveal Set for Tomorrow
Well, folks, the wait is over for a lot of us! After rumors that had been circulating, occasional leaks, and even what appeared to be official screenshots leaking online, Bethesda figured it was time to make it official. That's right, they've gone ahead and confirmed that The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remake is coming!
Get Ready for the Full Showcase Tomorrow
But not only did they confirm its existence, but they broke the exciting news that we're going to get a full reveal and presentation tomorrow! Get your calendars ready for April 22, 2025, at 8 AM Pacific Time / 11 AM Eastern Time / 4 PM UK Time.
Where do you catch it all? In a brief update on Bethesda's official X account, we're informed you'll need to watch either Bethesda's YouTube channel or Bethesda's Twitch channel.

What Can We Hope to See?
The title of the video coming up on Bethesda's YouTube is quite telling: "All will be revealed." This makes us think that they're really going to open the curtains wide. We're looking forward to details about:
- What enhancements have been made in this "remake."
- Quality-of-life changes or any additional features.
- And, of course, the release date!
Release Date Rumors: Could It Release Soon?
Discussing the launch date, there has been plenty of speculation going on. Some of the previous rumors had even indicated a possible launch as soon as today, April 21st, or at least sometime this month. Now, in hindsight, it seems like those dates might have gotten mixed up with tomorrow's major announcement.
Again, with the announcement being so imminent, it feels incredibly likely that we will not have to wait for long to play. It would be no surprise if Bethesda opts to "shadow drop" the game shortly after the livestream ends tomorrow!
Which Platforms Will Receive It?
Assuming a release this week (perhaps as soon as tomorrow), we can expect to see Oblivion touch down on Xbox consoles and PCs. For our friends who have PlayStation 5s, the situation is a little more ambiguous at present. We'll have to wait and see whether the PS5 release will be at the same time, or if Xbox players can look forward to a short exclusivity period.
And What About the Switch 2?
Here's an idea: is this remake headed to Nintendo's upcoming hardware, the "Switch 2"? While the original Switch is probably safe to rule out, a launch for the next-gen Nintendo console is entirely plausible, perhaps later in 2025 alongside its rumored launch window. Obviously, it wouldn't be releasing on the Switch 2 tomorrow since the console doesn't even exist! It's possible, however, that Bethesda could announce plans for a Summer or Fall 2025 release on Nintendo's new console.
The Wait is Almost Over!
Regardless of whether anything else may or may not be forthcoming regarding other platforms or upcoming releases, we'll be hearing the finality straight from Bethesda themselves tomorrow. Get ready to go back to Cyrodiil
