The ongoing Oblivion remaster leaks are stirring excitement across the gaming community. With whispers of a potential release date circulating, enthusiasts of the cherished Bethesda Game Studios RPG are unearthing various hints suggesting that a remake may indeed be in the works, possibly even uncovering its unofficial site.
One intriguing piece of evidence comes from a Redditor known as “Such-Ad5976”, who stated they “found reference to Oblivion Remastered on bethesda.net.” Their discovery was made through a straightforward inspect element trick. “I was exploring the source code of bethesda.net and stumbled upon a reference to ‘oblivion-remastered’ within the Google Tag Manager setup,” they revealed.
Although not yet live, this URL hinting at the official Oblivion Remastered page could be significant. “The page isn’t active,” the original poster noted, “but what’s compelling is how I checked the Google Tag Manager container on the Wayback Machine, and noticed that this reference wasn’t present as of April 10th. It seems to have been added just recently!” Such indications suggest we might be closer to a launch than imagined.
If the “leaked” Xbox support chat messages circulating online prove accurate, Oblivion Remastered could debut this coming Monday, on April 21. This timing aligns with Such-Ad5976’s findings, as Bethesda might be preparing for the remake’s official presence online. Fans eagerly await confirmation from the studio, with one commenting, “At this point they have to release the trailer.”
As an avid Elder Scrolls fan, I completely resonate with that sentiment. If these leaks hold true, we might witness a surprise release of Oblivion in the near future. It seems likely that we’ll receive another iteration of Oblivion before The Elder Scrolls 6 arrives, which isn’t shocking considering it’s been over a decade since Skyrim debuted.
The persistence of Oblivion remaster rumors coincides with insights from the Witcher 4 narrative director, who recently remarked on the original RPG’s notorious horse armor DLC, marking the onset of the microtransaction era, as an “integral part of gaming history.” Weekly updates, community stories, and more await dedicated fans.
