Bethesda knew fans had already heard about The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remaster through various leaks before its official announcement. At the same time, a group of modders has spent nearly ten years working on Skyblivion, their fan remake of Oblivion using Skyrim's engine.
The game company has always backed modding projects like Skyblivion by not interfering with their work. However, Bethesda recently went further. The Skyblivion team shared on social media that Bethesda gave free copies of the official Oblivion Remaster to every member of their modding team.
The Skyblivion project transforms The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition into Oblivion through an extensive modification. After almost a decade of development, the team plans to release it sometime in 2025.
Both versions will offer different experiences for players. Skyblivion focuses on gameplay changes and restoring cut content, rather than simply updating graphics with Unreal Engine 5, like the official remaster. Fans benefit from having access to both options.
The gaming news site Wccftech has tracked Skyblivion throughout its long development journey and looks forward to both the fan project and the official remaster from Bethesda and Virtuos.
