When Does the Rumored Oblivion Remaster Release?

Although it hasn’t been formally declared yet, there’s a strong likelihood that we may have already learned the release date of the nearly confirmed remaster of “The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.” It’s not uncommon for video games to undergo extensive and prolonged marketing periods.

It’s important to note that this information could be coming from online rumors and being repeated by the AI-powered support chat, but releasing at this time would make sense for a “shadow drop” – a strategy where news is dropped unexpectedly when most people are awake to see it.

As an excited fan, I’ve just stumbled upon some intriguing news: It appears that Xbox Support accidentally confirmed the release of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Remastered, which is set to launch tomorrow at 12 PM ET (6 PM in Spain).
