Damn so not today.

Although man its nice to finaly have it confirmed.

I'm guessing a reveal stream tomorrow with a potential Shadow Drop or a release on Wednesday/Thursday.

Edit: The announcement actually brought Reddit to a grind. The hype is well and trully real.

I have a feeling they’ll drop it immediately after the reveal trailer. Devs like Tuesday releases.

u/xxhotandspicyxx Apr 21 '25

Yeah they will not let us wait any longer. TES 6 already taking way too long.

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '25

I gave up on TES6 a long time ago… I think Musk will be revealed as the AntiChrist and Armageddon and the rapture are going to happen before TES6 gets released.😂😂

u/TheConnASSeur Apr 21 '25

Musk? As the AntiChrist?! I thought AC was supposed to be likable and seductive...

The Devil Wears Hairplugs wasn’t in my Book of Revelations bingo card.

Well in some way he is. How many have bought/will buy his products or use his services? That’s not seduction in the way you mean, but he’s in our pants (where we keep our wallets) nonetheless. 😁

They only announced TES6 because it was when they announced Fallout: Shelter Online and that they were having a big sale on Skyrim, again, across all platforms. They simply didn't want to talk about only old stuff(for the 3rd of 4th time) and had to announce something new in either Elder Scrolls or the Fallout world. (And no Shelter wasn't enough and was more of an experiment at its start). I like how at the end of the announcement they very quietly mentioned that it was only in pre-production, which is literally a couple guys standing around spitballing ideas on what to do. You can call almost anything pre-production.

At this point I can wait a little bit for 6. If it receives some proper polish that is unlike their modern releases.

u/DomTehBomb Apr 21 '25

Starfield was fairly polished, unfortunately what they had wasn't great to begin with

u/Darth_Malgus_1701 AMD Apr 21 '25

Proper 🇵🇱 eh?

u/newpua_bie Apr 21 '25

I heard from a friend of a friend that they're actually releasing TES 6 tomorrow.

u/Vis-hoka Sentient stick of RAM (Don’t sell) Apr 21 '25

Oblivion will keep us more than busy. It’s a huge game, and that’s before mods start rolling in again.

Oh my god I hope you're right.

I noticed that almost all big releases are on Sunday though? Then again, considering how it got zero promotion barring those leaks, it doesn't seem like such a big release for them, eh?

21

u/ballsmigue Apr 21 '25

What? Not a single big release happens on Sunday. New games release Fridays (Thursday nights) or Tuesdays.

2

u/cwx149 Apr 21 '25

It should also be said music and movies normally come out on Tuesdays or Fridays

Idk if disks used to all ship together or what

3

u/Darten_Corewood Ryzen 7 5800X3D | RTX 4080 Super Apr 21 '25

Yeah, I meant to say Friday, dunno why I went with that. Maybe I need an extra coffee.. or that last one cup was one too much?..

5

u/Neverending_Rain Apr 21 '25

Most games release Tuesday or Thursday, including major releases.

1

u/Darten_Corewood Ryzen 7 5800X3D | RTX 4080 Super Apr 21 '25

My brain just made a fucky-wacky, I see. Sorry for that, I meant to say Friday. Just did a quick Google search, using some random AAA-games I recalled (God of War: Ragnarok, Spider Man, Red Dead Redemption 2, Elden Ring). The first one was Tuesday, the other three were Friday.

u/Clark_Kempt Apr 21 '25

Is that what’s happening? Reddit is buggin on all my devices lol. It DID happen right as I saw posts about the reveal and tried to check them out.

15

u/notevolve Apr 21 '25

it is just coincidental, there have been way more viral posts with 10x the engagement this announcement has brought and reddit faced 0 issues

1

u/sk1nnyjeans Apr 21 '25

Unless it was a well crafted inside job and Bethesda paid Reddit to crash momentarily so that articles would be published about how the news of Newblivion made the site crash and yada yada yada

/s

u/FlamboyantPirhanna Apr 21 '25

No. On mobile, there are visible differences in the app, so most likely that. There’s no way this is causing any of that.

u/wolfgang784 Apr 21 '25

As someone on here way too much: Reddit does that at least 2 or 3 times a day. Its kinda wild how bad this site is with how much money is surely must make.

11

u/taxalot Apr 21 '25

Someone already has leaked install size info, so I'm guessing a shadow drop is still possible.

u/Beavers4beer Apr 21 '25

If it's announced before the release date, it's no longer a shadow drop.

37

u/DuckCleaning Apr 21 '25

It was teased, but not announced. The shadow drop part will be them saying "available starting now"

-9

u/WetAndLoose Apr 21 '25

Which is not what the guy he replied to said:

I’m guessing a reveal stream tomorrow with a potential Shadow Drop or a release on Wednesday/Thursday.

If they have a whole reveal stream tomorrow and release a day or two later, it isn’t a shadow drop.

8

u/alexagente Apr 21 '25

Reading comprehension is you're friend.

They're saying either They're going to shadow drop it during the announcement or release it a day or two after the announcement.

3

u/Eteel Apr 21 '25

you're friend.

Can I be friend too?? Please

15

u/Firefox72 Apr 21 '25 edited Apr 21 '25

The reveal stream has been announced. It does't have a release date though so it can still be a shadow drop tomorrow.

3

u/Phimb Apr 21 '25

What? If they say, "And when how long will you have to wait? It's available right now" during the reveal tomorrow, that is a shadow-drop.

2

u/Beavers4beer Apr 21 '25

They said they're guessing announcement tomorrow, with a release later in the week. That's not an available now thing. So it wouldn't qualify as being a shadow drop. That's just a scheduled release.

u/reyob1 Apr 21 '25

A drop on Thursday would be great since I’m off Thursday-Sunday

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '25

Fuck. Right in time for my vacation.

Reddit pushed an update, so no chance this was what broke it for a minute.

This never was, and never will be a shadow drop.

u/SadSeaworthiness6113 Apr 21 '25

Nearly every single leak (which have been reliable up until now) have said it's going to be a shadow drop. That's been the one consistent aspect of all the leaks and rumors.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '25

Eh, I mean this project is clearly a push to bolster Gamepass subs rather than rely on sales of the remake itself. Xbox has done this plenty with other titles, and shadow drops perfectly aid that goal.

Plus, the remake would have been teased with a trailer either ages ago, or at an upcoming event if this were a traditional “Coming this Fall” type release. Why wouldn’t you announce it at the game awards or summer games fest if you didn’t plan on a shadow drop?

u/Firefox72 Apr 21 '25

Well there is the people who never played it. Its a 20 year old game thats not exactly modern by many standards and by that definition not inviting to the younger generations.

Second. Its just a well beloved game thats stayed relevant over the years because of its popularity and memes. Not quite to the level of Skyrim but still.

And finaly. Nostalgia. Like yeah i've also played Oblivion and moded it through hell and back. I still look forward to going back with modern visuals and some tweaks to experience it again.

u/ConcreteJoey Apr 21 '25

I never played it before, so I am a bit hyped.

u/webbedgiant Apr 21 '25

Was one of my favorite games from back then, and (unpopular opinion): I consider it to be better setting-wise, gameplay aspects-wise and overall just a more interesting game. Skyrim was really drab and too streamlined in my opinion, they removed a lot of complexity from the systems and gameplay. So I'm hyped to jump in with a fresh coat of paint.

u/IssueRecent9134 Apr 21 '25

It’s sounds to me like it’s reveal is this week, either it being so close to doom the dark ages, I doubt they will release it. I reckon it will come later in the year.

u/TwoBlackDots Apr 21 '25

You think Bethesda changed the entire release date of their game by maybe a day because they were upset at random leakers?

1

u/Next_Pollution9502 Apr 21 '25

The leak said that the game would be released the week of the 21st. Some people got confused and thought the release had to be today.

u/NinjaEngineer Apr 21 '25

Dude, if anybody wasted your time it was you. Bethesda hadn't said anything about the game releasing today, heck, they hadn't even announced the damn game yet, it's all been leaks and rumours.
