Another huge leak just dropped for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, and it confirms this is going to be a big release. Literally.
According to the latest datamining from XboxEra, the remaster’s PC download will be around 121GB, which makes it one of the largest single-player RPG downloads in recent memory. PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions are likely to be similar in size. That is a huge leap from the original Oblivion install size, which was under 6GB back in the day.
And that is not all. A ‘trusted source’ (Lord Cognito) also confirmed that every single DLC will be included in the remastered version, including fan-favorites Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine, with no extra cost.
Shadow Drop Incoming?
Even though Bethesda has still not made an official announcement, multiple clues point to an imminent release. According to Xbox Support, the remaster is scheduled to go live today, on April 21 at 12 PM Eastern / 18:00 CEST, which strongly suggests a surprise shadow drop.
The remaster was also spotted in the source code of Bethesda’s official website a few weeks ago, lending even more weight to the growing pile of evidence.
On top of that, the silence around all those rumors and no official “denial” from Bethesda makes all these leaks even more credible. Wouldn’t you agree?
