The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remake Will Reportedly Shadow Drop This Month

by

Summary

  • The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion‘s reported remake/remaster is apparently set to shadow drop this month, according to industry insider Jeff Grubb.
  • Grubb recently claimed that he’s been told to expect a shadow drop this month, as Microsoft appears to be giving Oblivion the Ninja Gaiden 2 treatment.

There’s a strong likelihood that the long-whispered remaster or reboot of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is one of the most guarded secrets in the gaming world at present. Numerous industry sources have leaked information about it for quite some time, suggesting potential release dates such as this summer, April, and various other months in between.

With the anniversary passing without any word from Microsoft, fans are growing increasingly uncertain about the game’s existence. However, industry insider Jeff Grubb has tried to keep spirits high by suggesting that the Oblivion remake/remaster might follow in the footsteps of Ninja Gaiden 2 and be released unexpectedly this month.

Don’t Fear, The Oblivion Remake Is Still Coming

In their most recent Power Block podcast episode on Giant Bomb, Grubb and co-host Emma Fyffe speculate about a potential secret release of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion by Microsoft. They discuss the possibility of an unexpected tweet announcement or an upcoming Developer Direct event that hasn’t been revealed yet. Grubb seems fairly certain that we will see it before the end of April.

I’ve been told it’s gonna shadow drop here at any moment this month.

From my perspective, Grubb appears to be one of the most trustworthy insiders right now, given his track record of accurate leaks and predictions regarding various announcements. However, it’s essential to maintain a level of skepticism, as the gaming industry is known for its swift changes, and Microsoft has yet to officially confirm the game’s existence. So, while his insights are valuable, it’s best to approach them with a touch of caution and not let expectations run too high.

An unexpected release, or “shadow drop,” could be very strategic. Historically, Microsoft’s most successful recent launches have been surprise releases, like Ninja Gaiden 2 this year and Hi-Fi Rush in 2023. It seems that such sudden releases spark a lot of conversation, and an Oblivion remake, if released unexpectedly, would likely be their biggest release yet.
