The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered might be one of the worst-kept secrets in gaming right now, but a recent development appears to have blown the doors wide open. According to a conversation posted online, Xbox Support may have accidentally confirmed the game’s release date—and it’s sooner than many expected.
🕵️♂️ The Leak Heard ‘Round Tamriel
On April 15, fans noticed screenshots and promotional materials for Oblivion Remastered on the official website of Virtuos Games, a studio known for assisting in major AAA remasters. These leaks all but confirmed the project’s existence, listing it as coming to Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC.
But the bigger surprise came that same day. Twitter user @Ser_Raven18 shared a chat with Xbox Support in which an automated reply claimed that Oblivion Remastered would be released on April 21, 2025, as a day-one Xbox Game Pass title.

While support bots aren’t always reliable sources, the date aligns with insider reports that previously hinted at a late April release—some even suggesting a stealth drop around April 22, following the Elder Scrolls Online event.
🔧 Remaster or Remake?
There’s still some debate in the community about whether this is a true remaster or a full remake. Insiders have used both terms interchangeably, but leaks from Virtuos Games suggest a modernized remaster with upgraded visuals, reworked lighting, and quality-of-life improvements that stay true to the original 2006 experience.
If accurate, fans can expect enhanced performance for next-gen hardware, possible achievements/trophy support, and optimized controls.
🎮 Platforms and Game Pass Launch
According to the leaks, Oblivion Remastered will launch on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC, with cloud gaming support via Xbox Game Pass. The listing also mentioned it would be available Day One on Game Pass, giving subscribers instant access to one of the most iconic RPGs of all time—reborn for a new generation.
📢 No Official Word—Yet
Bethesda and Microsoft have yet to officially announce the remaster. However, with leaks piling up across social media, official websites, and now customer support, fans believe an announcement is imminent—possibly during the Xbox Games Showcase expected in mid-2025.
💬 Final Thoughts
While unofficial for now, all signs point to April 21, 2025, as the highly anticipated return to Cyrodiil. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a newcomer to the Elder Scrolls saga, Oblivion Remastered looks ready to deliver nostalgia with a next-gen polish.
