Though shadow drops do not happen very frequently, the remake of this much-loved game definitely deserves one!
For a long time, one has been hearing rumors about an Oblivion remake being in the works. While no official word has come through, some reports have indicated towards the game arriving next month. Oblivion, which happened to be the fourth title to have released as a part of The Elder Scrolls franchise, received a lot of accolades when it was released in 2006.
One has not heard about The Elder Scrolls 6 in a long time and there are little chances of the game releasing sometime in the near future. Before the game arrives, fans would want to be treated to some new titles. While a lot of hopes are pinned on the fan-made Skyblivion, fans would be quite happy to see an official Oblivion remake being launched.

According to sources, the Oblivion remake will first be announced officially and then, one will have to wait for a while to see it getting released. The game, as per sources, could drop anytime between March and June this year.
Those who had been waiting anxiously to hear something about The Elder Scrolls 6 could get some updates during the Summer Game Fest being organized in the month of June. There is a good possibility of a shadow drop for the Oblivion remake happening during the Summer Game Fest. Shadow drops, as the gaming community is aware, are a rare occurrence. However, the Oblivion remake could have this privilege owing to its reputation and the fact that the original game has achieved a cult status over the years.
An official announcement for The Elder Scrolls 6 came through way back in 2018. For a long time, fans had been waiting to get some important updates on the game. With the Summer Game Fest scheduled for June 6, fans are hopeful about getting some updates about the game. If an official reveal of The Elder Scrolls 6 happens along with the Oblivion remake getting shadow-dropped, it will be a double bonanza for fans.
Till now, Bethesda or Virtuos Games has not made any official announcement about the The Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion remake. After being launched in the early months of 2005, the Oblivion remake struck a chord with gamers instantly and managed to get a large section of gamers in its fold. Given the kind of popularity the game enjoys and the loyal fan base it has, its remake would benefit hugely by opting for a shadow drop.
Though nothing has been confirmed yet, reports suggest that Virtuos Games has been working on the development process of the Oblivion remake for quite some time. This, one must remember, is the same studio that is aiding the remake of Metal Gear Solid 3. The studio is also credited with developing a bunch of ports for AAA titles.

As per the reports, the Oblivion remake is being developed with the help of Unreal Engine 5. Creation Engine, for a long time, has been Bethesda’s in-house engine. One should, therefore, expect the The Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion remake to have a different look and feel to it.
While the original Oblivion continues to be discussed extensively in online gaming communities, fans would want the remake to come equipped with some improvements. One of the things fans hope for is the combat features of the game to get an upgrade.
