At this point, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remake/remaster (it’s a bit unclear which camp it falls into) is the industry’s worst kept secret. Just days ago, screenshots of the game were discovered on developer Virtous’ own website, all but confirming the game’s existence. And now, it seems like we safely assume this new version of the iconic RPG will contain all of the DLC.
The information comes via the Defining Duke Xbox podcast, which is currently behind a paywall on the Last Stand Media Patreon. The podcast will go live for everybody else in a few days.
Lord Cognito, one half of the hosts and owner of Lordsofgaming.net, stated that he had it “on good authority” that the upcoming remaster/remake will include all the DLC that was created for Oblivion. Cog says that he will stand by the information, and that even the infamous horse armour will be included alongside the likes of the Shivering Isles expansion.
Lord Cognito, along with co-host Mr. MattyPlays, doesn’t usually share leaked information, but when he does, it’s usually because he’s confident. His track record is strong.
According to reports, the remaster/remake – which was also recently discovered being references on Bethesda’s own website – is due to come out after the 21st of April but before the end of the month. It’s also rumoured to contain some gameplay tweaks, making it fall more into the remake camp rather than a straight remaster.
I seriously cannot wait.
