Nearly two decades following its initial release on the Xbox 360, “The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion” appears to be making a return. Bethesda, the original developer, posted an update on its X account, indicating an announcement livestream scheduled for Tuesday at 11 a.m. ET. The livestream will be available for viewing on Bethesda’s YouTube and Twitch channels. The announcement was accompanied by a graphic featuring the Roman numeral “IV” in a distinctive black-and-red design, strongly suggesting its relation to “Oblivion.”
Speculation surrounding a remake of “Oblivion” has been present for some time, gaining momentum last week when screenshots believed to be authentic surfaced from a development studio’s website. Notably, the game might be released immediately, rather than merely previewed through a trailer. Jeff Grubb, a journalist from Giant Bomb, mentioned on his “GameBreaking News” podcast that the game could be shadow-released this week, and he has previously been accurate with similar predictions. This development marks yet another moment of nostalgia for millennial gamers.
