It appears that the Oblivion Unreal Engine 5 Remake is nearing release. According to Jeff Grub, this official remake will be shadowdropped the week of April 21st. In other words, we should expect it at the end of April.
Do note that Grub specifically said “Week of April 21st”, and not “April 21st”. This means that it will come out sometime between April 21st and April 25th.
Both Jeff Grub and NateTheHate are credible sources for leaks. They have not been 100% accurate, but they are still credible for most leaks and rumors. This is why I’ve decided to share this latest leak.
I should also note that if the Oblivion Remake does come out in April, it does not prove DetectiveSeeds right. I know this might sound harsh, but if that leaker did not have a specific release date, he should have simply said that the remake would come out in April and leave it at that. Moving the goalposts is not how you become credible.
From what we know so far, the Oblivion Remake will be a mix of Unreal Engine 5 and the Gamebryo Engine. This means that its visuals will take advantage of UE5. However, the gameplay and physics will still run on the Gamebryo Engine. And yes, something like that is possible.
Since we haven’t gotten any screenshots, I can’t really say whether this will feel like a remaster or a full remake. We might get some news on April 21st, before Microsoft and Bethesda shadowdrop the game on PC and consoles.
Anyway, we’ll soon find out whether this official remake of Oblivion will be worth the wait. Until then, you can try this fan project that has ported the whole map of Oblivion to Unreal Engine 5. This could give us an idea of what the official remake could look like. I personally hope the official remake will be better than it. But, until we a trailer or screenshots on our hands, this is the closest I can think of an Oblivion Remake.
Stay tuned for more!
