Whispers of a remake for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion have circulated for years, with recent leaks hinting at an April 2025 release. While an official announcement remains elusive, the project's existence gained credibility through documentation revealed during Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard.

Reputable leakers have consistently maintained the remake's development, with previous leaks suggesting a release by June 2025.  Now, even more recent claims indicate a much sooner launch window, potentially next month.

A shadow drop release for the Oblivion remake aligns perfectly with the current rumors.  Leakers like NateTheHate suggest an April 2025 reveal and release, with minimal time between the two.  This “shadow drop” possibility has ignited excitement within the Elder Scrolls community.

The potential April release coincides with other leaked information surrounding Xbox's plans for the year, including titles like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 and a rumored Gears of War Collection. While the validity of these leaks remains to be seen, the Oblivion remake rumor will be either confirmed or debunked within the next month.

A surprise April release would deviate from Xbox's typical yearly June presentation, where major announcements are usually made. However, a shadow drop of this magnitude could generate significant buzz and excitement.

Previous leaks have suggested the remake utilizes Unreal Engine 5 and incorporates combat mechanics inspired by Soulslike games.  The prospect of experiencing Oblivion's world with updated graphics and refined gameplay has fans eagerly anticipating an official reveal.
