TL;DR: Rumors continue to swirl suggesting that the Oblivion remake will be released in April, and the latest theory is that the revamped version could drop after the Elder Scrolls Online anniversary event ends, which is on April 22. The remake will feature enhanced graphics courtesy of Unreal Engine 5 and it should be available on multiple platforms, not just Xbox and PC.

More speculation continues to bubble in the rumor pot regarding the possibility that the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remake is set for release in April - and it looks like the game could be out in two weeks' time.

On top of a bunch of other rumors already floated on X, we've got a clarification from Detective Seeds, who previously told us that the Oblivion remake might come out last week (which obviously didn't happen) or this week.

The leaker admitted that they were wrong in this, but as you can see from the new post on X above, they seem very confident the remake will debut during the week of the Elder Scrolls Online anniversary event.

That event ends on April 22, and apparently we'll see the reveal, and actual release of the remake, after that, over the course of the week. Also, Detective Seeds says that this info was extracted from more than one source.

At the same time, VGC also pointed out that Giant Bomb's Jeff Grubb said the following during a livestream on YouTube (see below) yesterday: "[I've] been told [the remake is] going to shadow drop at any moment this month... It's going to shadow drop pretty soon."

It seems a pretty good bet that this is really happening in April, then, and it makes sense that it'd be a fitting way to end the ESO event, of course.

Detective Seeds further clarifies that the Oblivion remake won't be exclusive to Xbox and PC, with the game being available on other platforms. Obviously take all this with some degree of caution still, but we wouldn't blame you for getting excited at this point.

Especially as the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remake sounds like a pretty major overhaul, juicing up the graphics with Unreal Engine 5, and addressing issues with the gameplay and interface, to boot.
