Bethesda is still to announce its highly-anticipated The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remake, but there’s no denying the project is real and ready to launch.
Earlier this week, screenshots and details of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remake were dug up from developer Virtuos’ website. Now, references to the project have been found on Bethesda’s own website too – including code for a “Buy Now” button that has since been removed.
As Eurogamer previously reported, it’s understood that Bethesda’s current plans are to shadow drop the game next week on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, including via Xbox Game Pass. But nothing has been officially announced – for now.
Still, Bethesda is clearly readying for next week behind the scenes, with some overly-eager website updating that – of course – caught the eye of fans.
“I was digging through the source code of bethesda.net and found a reference to ‘oblivion-remastered’ in the Google Tag Manager setup,” a fan posted on reddit, showing a screenshot of the code in situ.
“It points to this URL: https://elderscrolls.bethesda.net/en/oblivion-remastered The page isn’t live yet, but what’s interesting is that I checked the Google Tag Manager container on the Wayback Machine, and this reference wasn’t there as of April 10th. So it looks like it was added very recently!”
