The long-rumored Oblivion Remaster may finally have a release date, accidentally revealed by Xbox customer support. According to a user who contacted Xbox for unrelated help, the support agent unexpectedly confirmed the remaster is scheduled for release on November 12, 2025. While Bethesda hasn’t officially announced anything, this new detail adds weight to previous leaks suggesting the game is in development.
Oblivion remaster leak comes from Xbox support chat
Insider Gaming reported the story after the Xbox user shared screenshots of their chat with customer service. In the exchange, the representative stated that The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is launching this November and will be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one. This claim hasn’t been verified by Microsoft or Bethesda, but it quickly gained traction online.
Bethesda has shared never-before-revealed truth about Starfield. We could see a completely different game according to the company's mindset.
Microsoft and Bethesda stay quiet, for now
Neither Microsoft nor Bethesda has commented on the leak. The remaster has never been publicly confirmed, though it’s appeared in multiple reports over the past year. Most recently, the project was mentioned in a major document leak tied to Microsoft’s internal release schedule. If true, this would mark the first official return to Cyrodiil since the original game launched in 2006.
Oblivion remaster expected to launch on Game Pass
According to the leaked support message, the remaster will be included with Xbox Game Pass at launch. This fits Microsoft’s strategy of using Game Pass to boost attention around its biggest titles, especially legacy content. If the release window is accurate, players could see an announcement this summer, possibly during a June showcase.
Fans welcome the return of a cult classic
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remains a fan favorite thanks to its sprawling world, open-ended quests, and quirky characters. While its dated visuals and awkward animations have shown their age, players have long hoped for a modernized version. If the remaster does arrive this year, it could introduce a new generation of players to one of Bethesda’s most beloved RPGs.
