Wading into the discourse around the heavily leaked Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remaster, Bethesda has announced an oh-so-mysterious "IV" announcement stream for tomorrow, April 22, at 11am ET / 4pm BST.

Further solidifying expectations, a placeholder stream on YouTube reads: "All will be revealed..."

Images from Virtuous studios – the Dark Souls remastered studio, and now seemingly the Oblivion remaster's co-developer or lead developer – were by far the leakiest. If your game has side-by-side images out in the wild, I think it's safe to say the cat's not going back in the bag.

The standout is overhauled combat, with blocking purportedly veering closer to the Soulslike formula – fittingly enough, given Virtuous' Dark Souls remastered background – and stealth, archery, and stamina management are possibly all getting various modernizations.
