Elder Scrolls: Shadows of Oblivion planned for November 2026
Chip Theory Games ties Elder Scrolls: Shadows of Oblivion to the Heroes of Tamriel board game line, with a November 2026 release window.
- The expansion is currently slated for November 2026 based on the available information.
- The project is mentioned in the same context as Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era and Heroes of Tamriel.
What happened
Chip Theory Games has brought Shadows of Oblivion forward as part of its Elder Scrolls board game project. In the source material, the title is directly connected to Heroes of Tamriel and Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era, suggesting it is an expansion within the same product line. The source explicitly says Shadows of Oblivion is one of the expansions included in the project, rather than a standalone release.
The key date in the report is November 2026. The source presents that as confirmed, although it is not fully clear whether this refers to a fixed ship date or a broader release window. What is clear is that the timing is being discussed in the context of the existing Elder Scrolls board game line, not as a separate new project.
The source also notes that Heroes of Tamriel was delivered to backers via Gamefound in 2025. That places the expansion within an ongoing product line that has already been rolled out through crowdfunding. It also mentions a total of five expansions in the project, though the other four are not named in the provided information. That makes it clear Shadows of Oblivion is part of a larger set, but not how that full set is structured.
Timeline
2025 — Heroes of Tamriel is delivered to backers via Gamefound, according to the source.
2025 — Chip Theory Games continues work on multiple expansions in the Elder Scrolls board game line, including a set of five expansions in total.
November 2026 — Shadows of Oblivion is listed for release or shipping within the same product line.
Background
Chip Theory Games is the studio behind the board game project tied in the source to Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era and Heroes of Tamriel. Within that line, Shadows of Oblivion is named as one of the expansions. The provided information shows that the project includes multiple parts and that the expansion is part of a larger package, not a standalone release.
The available details make it clear this is a multi-part project. However, the exact relationship between Betrayal of the Second Era and Heroes of Tamriel is not fully explained in the source. Both names are mentioned in the same context, but the source does not specify whether one is a base product, a campaign, a sub-line, or another product category. The composition of the full set of five expansions is also not detailed, so only Shadows of Oblivion can be identified with certainty as part of that lineup.
The source also lays out a clear timeline: Heroes of Tamriel reached backers in 2025, while Shadows of Oblivion is listed for November 2026. That at least establishes a concrete order within the product line. The available facts do not provide further details about the expansion’s contents, the other four expansions, or any additional product names in the same series.
