‘Oblivion Remastered’ Mod Skyblivion on Track for 2025 Release
The modders behind Skyblivion say it’s on track to launch in 2025, but they still need volunteers to help the ambitious fan project get over the finish line.
Skyblivion, dubbed “Oblivion Remastered”, is a fan effort to remake Bethesda’s much-loved role-playing game The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim engine. Over 50 volunteers make up the development team at the TESRenewal modding group.
The team released new information in a fresh video. There’s a release goal of 2025, which is based upon the current completion percentage of the various parts of the project such as the recreation of the world map, terrain, interiors, 3D assets, quests, gameplay systems, and music. The team added it will not turn its attention to Oblivion’s DLC until Skyblivion launches proper in 2025.
Skyblivion has been in development in various forms since 2012, and while it won’t come out for another three years, it’s still set to launch before Bethesda’s own The Elder Scrolls 6. Testifying as part of the ongoing FTC vs Microsoft trial, Xbox boss Phil Spencer admitted the hotly-anticipated RPG is "five plus years away". That means The Elder Scrolls 6 may come out in 2028.
