In recent years, we've seen repeatedly that remasters and/or remakes definitely are a thing. Capcom (Resident Evil 4) or Electronic Arts (Dead Space) have breathed a second life into their iconic titles, and have done it very well. However, there are more games that would be worth reviving. Bethesda itself has several productions in its portfolio that, when refreshed, could still give fans a lot of fun.

I don't bring up the subject of Bethesda for no reason, because there are strong reasons to believe that Microsoft plans a new-old The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (via xfire).

1. The creation of this remaster/remake (unfortunately, the identity of Oblivion's new version has not been made clear) is the responsibility of Virtuos Games, specifically the Paris branch of the company.
2. It was its former employee (moderators of the r/GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit confirmed that the person who presented the information was verified as a former developer from Virtuos Games) who shared information about the actions of his former employer.
3. The published message has already disappeared from Reddit, but a screenshot is circulating on the web. From it, we know that The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is most likely being developed as project "Altar".
4. The developers are reportedly porting the game to Unreal Engine 5, while using selected elements of the old engine.
5. What's more, the game is said to be already at a fairly advanced stage of work, with a release expected in late 2024 or early 2025..

It should be noted that this is not the only game that Virtuos Games is overseeing. The studio is also working the remake of MGS 3, announced some time ago, namely Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater.

In addition, the company is developing an "in-house project" that "has ambitions to become a major AAA title," comparable to the Monster Hunter series and Shadow of the Colossus. The last two items mentioned by the developer are an expansion for the MMO New World from Amazon and a "narrative climbing game".

Skyblivion - this project should also be remembered

Returning to The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, let's mention that Virtuos Games' creation would not be the only remake of Bethesda's game in the pipeline. For more than a decade, fans of the game have been working on porting the game to the engine of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Skyblivion - because that is the title of the powerful mod - is expected to debut in 2025. It remains to be hoped that the latest hacker attack on the developers' channel on Discord will not delay the mod's release.
