A LinkedIn profile belonging to a game developer strongly suggests an Oblivion remake, built using Unreal Engine 5, is currently under development. This lends credence to long-standing rumors and recent leaks surrounding the project. Fans are eagerly anticipating an official reveal, possibly during a speculated Xbox Developer Direct event in 2025.
Speculation about an Oblivion remake has circulated for years, with a 2023 rumor suggesting a 2024 or 2025 release. In late 2024, Xbox insider Jez Corden predicted a January 2025 unveiling during an Xbox Developer Direct. While unconfirmed, the precedent of similar events in January 2023 and 2024 makes this a plausible scenario.
The LinkedIn profile of a Virtuos Technical Art Director—Virtuos being the studio reportedly working on the remake—states involvement in an "unannounced Unreal Engine 5 remake for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S." Although the game isn't named, the context and engine specification strongly point towards Oblivion, suggesting a full remake rather than a simple remaster. This contrasts with the previously rumored Fallout 3 remaster, whose status remains uncertain.
LinkedIn Profile Strengthens Oblivion Remake Claims
Oblivion, the sequel to 2002's Morrowind, captivated players in 2006 with its expansive world, impressive (for the time) graphics, and memorable soundtrack. Since 2012, the Skyblivion mod has been a testament to fan dedication, aiming to recreate Oblivion within Skyrim's engine. A recent update hinted at a potential 2025 release for this ambitious fan project.
The future of the Elder Scrolls franchise beyond the anticipated Oblivion remake is still shrouded in mystery. The only trailer for Elder Scrolls 6 debuted in 2018. Bethesda has confirmed it's their next major project following Starfield, with Todd Howard estimating a release timeframe of "15 to 17 years after Skyrim." While a concrete release date remains elusive, fans are hopeful for a new trailer before the end of 2025. The potential Oblivion remake announcement could further stoke this anticipation.
