Oblivion Remake Leak Suggests It\'s Taking Some Inspiration From Soulslikes

Rumored Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remake Details Emerge

Recent leaks suggest a full-scale Unreal Engine 5 remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, potentially launching in June 2025, courtesy of Virtuos. While unconfirmed by Bethesda or Microsoft, these leaks paint a picture of a significantly upgraded experience.

The most intriguing detail centers on the combat system. While not a Soulslike game itself, the remake reportedly incorporates elements from the Soulslike genre, specifically in its blocking mechanics. This is just one aspect of a purported overhaul, with other improvements potentially including enhanced stealth, a more forgiving stamina system, a redesigned HUD, refined hit reactions, and improved archery.

A former Virtuos employee's website, as reported by MP1st, is the source of these claims. This website allegedly details the project's scope and features. However, it's crucial to treat this information with caution until official confirmation.

Speculation about an Oblivion remake appearing at the January 23rd Xbox Developer Direct has been dispelled by various leakers. While the event will showcase Doom: The Dark Ages, South of Midnight, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and an undisclosed title, the Oblivion remake's reveal appears unlikely at this time. Fans will need to remain patient for official announcements from Bethesda or Microsoft.
