The remaster of the cult classic RPG not only reignited fans' enthusiasm for the series but has reportedly prompted Bethesda to take more decisive action regarding the next chapter of the legendary franchise.

Insider eXtas1s reports that the studio was highly pleased with the success of Oblivion Remastered. Developers are allegedly actively considering debuting TES VI in the coming months—most likely during Xbox's summer showcase. Potential timelines range from a June to August reveal, depending on Microsoft's broader presentation plans.

The insider clarifies that this is currently just an initiative from developers inspired by the remaster's positive reception. Bethesda's leadership aims to capitalize on the momentum, especially considering GTA VI's delay. However, the final decision rests with Microsoft—the corporation will ultimately determine the announcement timing.

Previously, eXtas1s disclosed setting details:

  • The story will unfold in Hammerfell and High Rock
  • The return of dragons and nautical themes
  • Shipbuilding mechanics and underwater exploration
  • Starfield-inspired elements (outpost construction, island exploration)

Amid the growing hype, fans have begun a full-scale "Easter egg hunt"—several intriguing references to Hammerfell have already been discovered in Oblivion Remastered, potentially hinting at the upcoming game.
