There are a lot of great games officially scheduled to come out in April. These include Xbox console exclusives Indiana Jones and Forza Horizon 5 coming to PlayStation. While these are two massive gets for the PS5, there are also rumors we are getting a remake of Oblivion. While Bethesda is yet to even announce the game, a leaker believes the Oblivion remake release date is “likely” end of this week.

Leaker believes Oblivion remake release date is imminent

Bethesda hasn’t announced a remake of Oblivion, but there are heavy rumors it is coming out soon. Previously, NateTheHate thought it would arrive in June, but their most recent update claims it could arrive in April, possibly as a shadowdrop.

On March 13th, NateTheHate posted on X, “As plans stand: Both the release and reveal are targeting next month (April). The gap between the reveal and release will be minimal — a shadow drop is possible”.

This doesn’t confirm the game is coming out in April, but it is the biggest rumor so far. It’s possible we could get a reveal and then a release in June as originally rumored, but a release would be amazing.

While NateTheHate hasn’t shared anything new about the Oblivion remake since, DetectiveSeeds has chimed in with when they believe the game is specifically coming out. On March 30th, DetectiveSeeds posted on X, “I believe the Oblivion remake is going to release end of next week, likely Thursday April 3rd”.

This would be huge if true. Again, Bethesda hasn’t even announced the game, so a shadowdrop so soon would be insane. We personally don’t believe it will happen, and there’s no hints at April 3rd from anyone else, but DetectiveSeeds has been accurate in the past.

While there are no official details about the game, Eurogamer originally reported that it is “fully remade” in Unreal Engine 5, and that it features a new blocking system, as well as other reworked systems including stamina, sneaking, archery, hit reaction, and HUD.

In other news, DetectiveSeeds has also possibly leaked the release date window for Ghost of Yotei, and it is very close.
