The information comes from Giant Bomb's Jeff Grubb, who said on a livestream Monday that the Oblivion remake could be shadow dropped “at any moment this month”. For those not aware, “shadow drop” refers to an unexpected or previously unannounced release that comes without prior marketing or release date update.

“I've been told it's going to shadow drop here at any moment this month,” Grubb said on the stream, adding that the surprise release could take place “pretty soon”.

Grubb's update follows rumours of the imminent launch of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remake in April. A separate source has claimed that the game could come out in the week of April 21 after the Elder Scrolls Online anniversary event ends. The in-game ESO anniversary event kicked off April 3 and will go on till April 22.

“Initial info timeline was off, I own it, it happens doing this. HIGHLY confident on dropping after event concludes as it is from more than 1 person. The project is 100% real for those doubting it,” Detective Seeds, a channel that posts games industry updates on X, claimed Sunday. The same channel also spotted changes on the The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Game of the Year Edition Steam page, which could suggest Bethesda readying a remake or a remaster of the game.

It's also worth noting that Microsoft has released games without prior announcement previously. The company shadow dropped 2 new Xbox games at its Xbox Partner Preview showcase in October 2024 — first-person shooter Blindfire and indie Metroidvania Animal Well. Most notably, the Xbox parent shadow dropped rhythm action title Hi-Fi Rush in 2023 that went on garner critical acclaim and won several year-end awards.

Microsoft and Bethesda have not confirmed the existence of an Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remake yet.

Earlier this year in January, a report by MP1st shared the first details about the Oblivion remake, claiming the project was real and was indeed a full remake instead of a remaster.
