It may have now released its own remaster of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, but that doesn’t mean Bethesda is planning on shutting down work on the fan-made Skyblivion mod.
Let’s be honest, we all knew a spruced up version of Oblivion was on the cards. Along with those screenshots on developer Virtuos’ website, references to the project were also spotted on Bethesda’s own website before Bethesda had made any official announcement. Then last night, it finally got around to telling us what we all knew already: Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered is real, and available to play now.
However, while this was an exciting bit of news for many, there is one particular group this announcement was perhaps less than welcome for, at least in terms of timing. That would be TESRenewal, the team working Skyblivion, a volunteer-based project seeking to remake Oblivion in the Skyrim engine.
