(Image: Bethesda) After weeks of leaks, Oblivion looks to finally be getting its reveal courtesy of Bethesda, and you can tune in live to see what's in store for RPG fans. It's almost time to become criminal scum all over again. After many claims crawled out of the woodwork, with leaks claiming an Oblivion Remaster would arrive imminently, the company that led its initial charge has finally revealed that the game is coming soon, with players expecting it to touch down on Xbox consoles as well as Xbox Game Pass. The Elder Scrolls classic and fourth mainline title in the franchise that offered us Skyrim is finally getting official teases, and it looks as though Oblivion Remastered release date leaks had some level of legitimacy after all, as Bethesda has taken to Twitter to share a teaser image pointing towards some sort of reveal featuring the roman numeral for the number four – and we know what that means. The eye seen in the background all but confirms that Oblivion Remastered is indeed getting revealed very shortly, with a date issued for a major announcement. But when exactly can we watch history unfold for Tamriel and its denizens? Here's what you need to know about the incoming Oblivion Remastered reveal.

The reveal is scheduled on YouTube and Twitch with the headline 'All will be revealed…' Content cannot be displayed without consent Not much is known about the reveal itself, but as of right now, we can probably expect that the reveal won't offer much more than a trailer. Even so, that demands this level of hype, especially as rumours initially indicated that the game would shadow drop. If it did, and the game launched tonight, we'd be in for a real treat as Elder Scrolls fans flock to see the RPG classic, which is in dire need of a new lick of paint. The new era is about to arrive – and there's every chance it could keep us comfy until The Elder Scrolls 6 arrives. And who knows when that'll actually get here.

Can you access The Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion Remastered early using the New Zealand trick?
If you're a die-hard Elder Scrolls fan, you're probably already counting down the seconds to the release of The Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion Remastered . But here's the million-gold question floating around the community right now — can you use the classic 'New Zealand trick' to play it early? Is the New Zealand Trick Safe, and Will I Get Banned? - What Is the New Zealand Trick? If you've ever wanted to play a game early on release day, you've probably heard of this trick. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The 'New Zealand trick' is a method that involves changing your console or PC's location to New Zealand — the first country to roll into a new calendar day due to time zones. Because games tied to global digital launches often unlock based on the region's local time, New Zealand players sometimes get access to games up to 18 hours before others. Players in the U.S., UK, or Europe often change their region to New Zealand to piggyback on this early access window. It's totally legal, easy to do, and has been a long-time favorite move for gamers looking to jump in early. Can It Work for Oblivion Remastered? Short answer: It depends on how Bethesda handles the launch. If Oblivion Remastered gets a global digital launch based on local timezones, then yes — you might be able to use the New Zealand trick to jump in early. But if it launches at a fixed global time (say, April 21 at 12 PM EST), then changing your region won't help. The game will unlock for everyone at the exact same moment, no matter where you are in the world. Right now, there's strong speculation that the game might shadow drop soon, possibly as early as April 21. But whether it's a timed unlock or a rolling launch hasn't been confirmed yet. The Oblivion Remaster Is REAL… And There's More Than One! Is the Trick Worth Trying? Honestly, yes — if you're playing on Xbox or PC via Game Pass, switching your region to New Zealand is quick and safe. Worst-case scenario, it doesn't work and you just wait like everyone else. Best-case? You're strolling through the Imperial City before your friends even finish their coffee. Just remember to switch your region back after the game unlocks. It can affect things like store currency, local apps, and services. Final Thoughts With all the excitement (and rumors) swirling around Oblivion Remastered , it's hard to sit still. Whether Bethesda lets us sneak in through a time zone loophole or holds the line with a synchronized drop, one thing's clear — Tamriel is calling again, and it's going to look better than ever.
