The long-rumoured The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remaster might actually be happening, thanks to a fresh leak that includes screenshots and comparisons.

It has been more than 19 years since The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion launched for the Xbox 360. The fourth entry allowed fans to explore the province of Cyrodiil, with sharper edges than the previously released Morrowind for the original Xbox. While active polygons were visible in Morrowind — likely due to hardware limitations at the time — Oblivion smoothed many of those edges. To this day, many fans of The Elder Scrolls still refer to the fourth instalment as the greatest entry — just like Morrowind.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remaster Has Leaked, Release Date Alleged For April

There have been numerous rumours regarding a potential remaster of the fourth entry in The Elder Scrolls franchise, and today, a leak has surfaced online revealing what leakers are calling The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. Leaked images and details can be found on ResetEra, with side-by-side comparisons of the original next to the purported remaster. According to Leakers, the remaster changes many aspects of the game, including the HUD, to attract new players. Below, an alleged image of the “remastered” Oblivion gates can be seen in their fiery glory, thanks to leakers on Imgur.

The images and comparisons appear authentic, and the ResetEra post claims they originated from an official Virtuos website. A link to the site was shared on ResetEra, but it now leads to a dead page. Virtuos has been in the gaming industry for more than 20 years and is known for contributing to some of the biggest gaming franchises, including BioShock, Assassin’s Creed and Final Fantasy. At the time of writing, clicking the “Our Works” tab on the Virtuos site also leads to a dead link, suggesting the leaked images and details may be legitimate and that Virtuos could be engaging in damage control.

However, until Virtuos or Bethesda make a formal announcement, these leaks should be taken with a grain of salt until the developers or publishers provide an official statement.
