Released in 2006 on PC and Xbox 360 then the following year on PlayStation 3, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is a cult western role-playing game developed by Bethesda Softworksalthough somewhat forgotten after the global success of its sequel, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrimand its multiple ports.
But The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion may return to the limelight… thanks to a remake, or a remaster. As reported Xfirean internet user from Reddit recently published a long message to discuss several projects of Virtuos Games Paris, studio in which he would have worked. A message deleted since, but the moderators of Reddit were able to verify and confirm the statements of the Internet user, enough to take this leaked seriously.
Virtuos Games Paris would develop the project Altarwhich would be a “remaster/remake of Oblivion”, using the modern game engine Unreal Engine 5 for the graphics, but the original old title code for everything gameplay or physics engine. A project which should be released at the end of 2024 or the beginning of 2025 depending on the ambitions of the developer (and the publisher, Bethesda), primarily designed by Virtuos Games Paris with the help of Black Shamrock for the artistic part.
The Internet user also mentions other studio projectsnotably Cobra which is a remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eateralready made official by Konamian extension for New WorldTHE MMORPGs ofAmazon Games, Omnious which would be a narrative climbing game in very early production, and Massivean ambitious AAA who would mix monster hunter and Shadow of the Colossus with gigantic bosses to face cooperatively in a post-apocalyptic world. THE gameplay would be very dynamic, with double jumps, mugsbig jumps and dodges, requiring you to manage your stamina gauge during the fight.
Of course, all of this should be taken with a grain of salt until the publishers have formalized these projects, but pending information on The Elder Scrolls VI, a remake or remaster from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion should delight fans western role-playing games. If you’ve never made this cult title, it’s sold €13.49 on Gamesplanet in GOTY Edition.
