The Oblivion remake is real, and all will be revealed about it very soon

Bethesda has finally confirmed The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remake is real, and the studio will hold a livestream tomorrow morning at 11 AM ET (8 AM PT) to give players more details. The long-rumored and discussed remaster is one of the worst-kept secrets in the gaming industry, but it’s still a pleasant surprise to see confirmation from Bethesda itself that the game will return.

The news comes via Bethesda’s social media accounts, which shared an image of a helmeted warrior with the Roman numeral “IV” in front of it. The company is clearly enjoying itself, as clicking the YouTube link leads to a video titled, “All will be revealed…” The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion preceded Skyrim and introduced players to the land of Cyrodil, and its lore tied closely into the story of the subsequent game.

At the time of writing, almost 12,000 viewers are waiting for the stream to go live. With the description stating that “all” will be revealed, we hope that includes a launch window. Most likely, the stream will detail gameplay elements, show off how it has been improved over the 2006 original, and much more. Bethesda might also drop the game at the end of the stream, if we’re lucky.

It wouldn’t be overly surprising if that is the case. Rumors have suggested Bethesda might shadow-drop the game with little to no fanfare, and last week, screenshots of the remake leaked from the developer’s website shortly before an automated response from the Xbox Support Account confirmed the remaster’s existence.

There’s no word on pricing or availability yet, but the Oblivion remaster is expected to be a day one GamePass title. Some Steam users have also reported seeing it added to their libraries, which adds strength to the idea that it might drop tomorrow following the stream.

Activision finally confirmed that the new game it has been teasing is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and that we'll learn a lot more about it very soon.

Hype around the next Call of Duty game began to swell earlier this week when a site called thetruthlies.com was discovered by Call of Duty fans. After fans were able to deduce that this was a teaser for a new Call of Duty game, Activision released a teaser trailer combining all the clips from the site on the game's actual website. It was ultimately about a group of people vandalizing Mount Rushmore with the message "The Truth Lies."

Microsoft unveiled the batch of titles coming to its gaming subscription service throughout the back half of March. Quite a few awesome titles are making their way to the service, but by far, the most notable addition is Diablo IV, the first Activision Blizzard game being made available on Xbox Game Pass.

Diablo IV was released in June 2023, just a few months before Microsoft completed its acquisition of Activision Blizzard. It's the latest entry in a long-running isometric RPG series, and it retains the same engaging dungeon design, deep progression systems, and captivating loot loop that makes games in this franchise special. People have been wondering when Activision Blizzard games would arrive on Xbox Game Pass in the months since the acquisition process was completed, and Diablo IV was finally confirmed to be coming to the service on March 28 last month.

Bethesda turns Skyrim into a mod platform with new Creations feature
Aldmeri Anti-Mage is one of the mods available through Bethesda Game Studios Creations in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is over 12 years old at this point, but a hefty Bethesda Game Studios update that dropped today is meant to revitalize its modding community. It turns the game into an easily accessible platform with user-made mode content, even on console.

Building on what was once the Bethesda Creation Club, this new feature is called Bethesda Game Studios Creations. Its first implementation is in Skyrim Special Edition and Skyrim Anniversary Edition across PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, and PS5. Bethesda created a Creations storefront where players can buy and download mods that add anything from items to new characters and questlines. It's also letting Skyrim mod creators join its Verified Creator program so they can set prices for their mods and earn royalties from the sales.
