Bethesda seemingly has a new version of its seminal RPG, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion coming for fans. After months of rumors, the publisher is streaming reveals and details at 11 a.m. ET / 8 a.m. PT tomorrow, April 22.
Bethesda hasn’t released any details yet, just a day-before invite to watch the stream. Whether it’s just graphically updated or will have substantial reworks of its systems to appeal to today’s gamers is anyone’s guess for now. The reveal stream will be happening on Bethesda’s YouTube and Twitch channels.
Bethesda’s last big RPG release, Starfield, was a muted success. Players explored a galaxy chock full of story but were less enthused about the procedurally generated outposts and planets that became repetitive. Returning to a beloved game like Oblivion could be a safer bet for Bethesda.
Oblivion’s remake would join several well-regarded releases in the last few years that have re-envisioned classic games for modern gamers. Last year’s Silent Hill 2 Remake was a critical and commercial success, while 2023’s Resident Evil 4 Remake was similarly well-received by fans.
Initially released in 2007, Oblivion followed the classic Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and built on its open-world design. While beloved, the game’s introduction of level-scaling — making enemies proportionately more difficult as your character grows — proved controversial. Still, the game’s story remains one of the most well-regarded in the series.
