A LinkedIn profile suggests an Oblivion remake, powered by Unreal Engine 5, is actively under development. While unconfirmed, speculation points to a January 2025 Xbox Developer Direct as the potential reveal platform, mirroring similar events in 2023 and 2024. This adds fuel to the long-standing rumors surrounding an Oblivion remake or remaster.
Previous rumors, including a 2023 prediction of a 2024/2025 release, have gained traction due to recent leaks. The latest evidence comes from a Virtuos (a China-based developer reportedly involved) Technical Art Director's LinkedIn profile. It mentions an unannounced Unreal Engine 5 remake for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S—a description strongly suggesting the Oblivion remake, given the engine choice implying a full remake rather than a remaster. Separately, plans for a Fallout 3 remaster surfaced in late 2023, though its current status is unclear.
Oblivion Remake Rumors Strengthened by LinkedIn Profile
Released in 2006, Oblivion, the sequel to 2002's Morrowind, received widespread critical acclaim for its expansive world, visuals, and soundtrack. Since 2012, the Skyblivion mod has been recreating Oblivion within Skyrim's engine, recently hinting at a 2025 release.
The future of the Elder Scrolls franchise remains somewhat shrouded in mystery. The only trailer for Elder Scrolls 6, released in 2018, and Bethesda's statement that it will follow Starfield, coupled with Todd Howard's prediction of a release 15-17 years after Skyrim, leave the release date uncertain. However, anticipation for a new trailer before the end of 2025 is high among fans.
