This is not a drill! I repeat, this is not a drill! Bethesda is teasing an official announcement regarding The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, following an absolutely metric butt-load of rumours and leaks have left the project an open secret.
The tease comes by way of the official Bethesda X page where the company posted an image with the number 4 in roman numerals, The background is extremely dark but appears to be a helmeted figure that looks a lot like the one seen in the leaked artwork.

The tweet lists a date and time: 04/22/25, 11am ET/8am PT/4pm BST. It also says to tune in to Bethesda’s official Twitch page, or to their Youtube channel, indicating it will be some sort of trailer or video presentation.
Previous rumours leaned heavily toward the idea of the game being shadow-dropped sometime between today and the end of the month. That can still happen as the remaster/remake might be dropped straight onto stores at the end of the presentation
With that said, don’t get your hopes up. There’s absolutely zero official word about what’s happening, so it might simply be that the game is getting announced tomorrow but won’t be released.
Either way, it looks like all those early leaks were at least partially right.
