Summary
The lead of theSkyblivionproject has recently addressed the leaks surrounding an official remaster ofThe Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. 2025 seems to be the year ofOblivion, as it’s possible that both an official remaster and the fan-made remake could come out in the following months.
Skyblivionis a project that started back in 2012 intending to portObliviontoSkyrim’s engine. As the years passed, the mod was turned into a full-blown remake of the popular 2000s open-world RPG, and the project is nearly complete. However,rumors about an officialOblivionremaster have been ramping up lately, with Virtuous Games mistakenly leaking images of the seemingly real project.
Amid the buzz ofThe Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remasteredbeing all but officially confirmed,Skyblivionlead project developer Kyle “Rebelzize” Rebel has addressed the remaster. According to Rebelzize, the official remaster “changes nothing,” asSkyblivionwas a “passion project” from the start, and it will continue to be so. Rebelzize also considered theOblivionremaster to be a win-win situation for most fans, as they will get twice the amount ofTES 4in 2025.
This is not the first time thatRebelzize has welcomed the rumoredOblivion Remastered. Back in February, when new rumors about the game started to surface, the developer said that whether they were real or not, it did not affect the development ofSkyblivion, as the team was not looking for a profit. Also, he argued that an official remaster could make fans even more curious about the total overhaul mod.
It’s very likely thatSkyblivionwill be released sometime during 2025. Late last year, thedevelopers shared the current work onSkyblivion, showcasing how most of the world’s landscape, interiors, 3D models, and quests were already complete. While there’s still work to be done, this showcased that the project was reaching its final stages, exciting fans who had been followingSkyblivionover the last decade.
