Rumored Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remake Could Feature Major Gameplay Overhauls

Reports suggest the unannounced remake is being developed in Unreal Engine 5 with reworked mechanics inspired by modern action RPGs.

Multiple sources claim Virtuos is developing the remake, with updates reportedly leaked via a former employee's portfolio site.
The rumored remake is said to include six overhauled gameplay systems: stamina, sneaking, blocking, archery, hit reaction, and HUD design.
Blocking mechanics are reportedly inspired by Soulslike games, aiming to make combat more engaging and skill-based.
Archery and sneaking systems are allegedly revamped for smoother gameplay, while stamina knockdowns are reduced for less frustration.
Speculation points to a possible June 2025 release, though no official confirmation or announcement has been made by Bethesda.
