Yet another The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered leak has surfaced online. This one tells us how much storage the game will eat up, and it is about as much as one would expect from an Unreal Engine 5 game.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remaster has been arguably one of the worst kept secrets in recent history, with screenshots appearing on the developer's website. But, Bethesda hasn't said a peep about it; not even a teaser, so far. Now, XoXLeak, a group of data miners, have revealed how much disk space it will need on your device, and it is gnarly.

Like every Unreal Engine 5 game out there, it will require a whopping 121 GB of space on your precious SSD. To put things in perspective, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion originally took up 5 GB, although many would consider that a lot of space when the game launched in 2006. This will be cumbersome for Xbox owners as they will have to, once again, scramble to make room on their consoles to experience Tamriel in all of its Unreal Engine 5 glory.

The only missing piece of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remastered puzzle remains its price. We won't have to wait very long to find out because Bethesda apparently plans on stealthily announcing the game today (April 21). A $40-ish price tag is to be expected. Anything above that would be borderline outrageous, but there's a good chance it'll be included with an Xbox Game Pass subscription.
