[Update] The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered's file size and exact release time leaked

Update 21/04 16:30 BST: It's official now: Bethesda confirms that The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered arrives tomorrow, 22 April

Just half an hour before this morning's leaked deadline, Bethesda has decided to calm things down with a terse message on Twitter accompanied by an image and the word "Tomorrow". That means that tomorrow at 16:00 BST/17:00 CEST the company will finally reveal The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered on its YouTube and Twitch channels, and presumably make it available to players as well.

Some may bemoan the 24-hour wait, but at least it's now clear that everything that has been leaked about the game is real.

[Original news]

What is on its way to being the gaming industry's worst-kept secret could suddenly appear in a matter of hours. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered has leaked not only its full name and countless screenshots and official artwork, we now have even more hints that Virtuos and Bethesda's shadow drop will arrive later today, at 17:00 BST/18:00 CEST.

But what also seems to have been leaked is the exact size of the game on PC. According to the X0X_LEAK account on X, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered takes up 120.97 GB of local storage space. If this proves to be true (the game hasn't even been officially revealed by Microsoft) it would be the biggest jump in storage space on record. To put it in perspective, the file size of the original The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion was 4.6GB. It's clear that the new tech we've seen in the screenshots requires more space (and if it also includes all of the game's extra content), and from its size we can pretty much confirm that it's built on the Unreal Engine 5.

For now, all that remains to be known is whether the game will finally arrive today, the price and the platforms on which it will do so.
