The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is an upcoming remaster of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. No such title has been officially confirmed, but various notes on gameplay changes and images have been leaked since 2023.

As part of FTC v. Microsoft, internal Bethesda documents were inadvertently made public which confirmed that an Oblivion remaster was planned for release in 2022 prior to the acquisition of ZeniMax by Microsoft.[3] Rumors of a potential remaster or remake being worked on by Virtuos Games first appeared online in July 2023.[4]

On April 15, 2025, several in-game images, promotional art, and other materials were leaked from the Virtuos website, accessed through a WordPress upload repository.[1] These images display several recognizable locations such as the view of Vilverin from the Imperial City Prison Sewer, the bridge leading to Castle Skingrad, and the Imperial City seen from afar.[5] References to an Oblivion remaster were also found in the source code of the Bethesda.net homepage, which pointed to a presently unused URL for the game.[6] The following day, the Xbox Support account on X (Twitter) provided confirmation via DMs that Oblivion Remastered would launch on April 21 and would include all DLCs from the original game. The account later indicated the DLCs would launch separately as part of a "Deluxe Edition".[2]
