Is the Oblivion remake real? Here’s why everyone’s talking about the 2006 Elder Scrolls title

While The Elder Scrolls 6 is officially in development, a recent social media post has claimed that we could be getting the long-rumored Oblivion remake during the first week of April this year. Is The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remake real? The recent rumor came from X user @DetectiveSeeds, who claimed that the Oblivion remake is likely going live on Thursday, April 3. No official statement has arrived from Bethesda as of writing this piece. The tweet, originally posted on March 30, is still up (if reliability is concerned). However, the author claimed in a follow-up tweet that the source is a bit iffy and that it's unclear whether the game will be live "this week or the next" (referring to the second week of April). https://twitter.com/DetectiveSeeds/status/1906165593016799478 The tweet also claims that Indiana Jones will be released on April 16 for the PS5, followed by Forza Horizon 5 after 13 more days. As I write this article, some parts of the world are already in the early hours of April 4, so the date of April 3 certainly appears to be a wrong one. It also feels a tad fishy that Bethesda would release such an exciting remake without any form of PR. One can cite the example of Hi-Fi Rush, which came out of nowhere and became an instant hit with the community. Then again, that was a brand new adventure and a fresh launch, while Oblivion would be a remake of an older game, and a popular one at that. We haven't seen any fresh evidence since the tweet that would suggest the Oblivion remake is real. The latest concrete news came from leaked FTC documents during the Activision-Blizzard acquisition by Microsoft. Then again, in the world of shadow drops, anything is possible.
