The leaks haven't yet indicated a release date, and Bethesda continues to remain tight-lipped. Some rumors suggest that the release could happen during the fourth week of April, which means that players won't have to wait too long. A confirmation is awaited from the developers, and players should wait for official information before drawing any conclusion.
Additional elements like price, editions, and more remain to be confirmed as well. One of the leaked images hints towards a Deluxe Edition in the making. This particular edition could include bonus gameplay items and possible advanced access. Ultimately, it depends on what Bethesda has in plans for this remake. One thing is for sure - there will be plenty of takers, given how popular The Elder Scrolls series is in the world of games. We are still months, if not years, away from The Elder Scrolls 6, and Oblivion Remastered will be a nice filler.
The title is also expected to be available for all Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers for day one, so it's another win for those who are members of the gaming subscription.
