Fans of The Elder Scrolls series are buzzing with excitement today as Bethesda has generously gifted free game keys for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered to the entire team behind the beloved mod, Skyblivion. This gesture has sparked a wave of gratitude from the modding community.
In a heartfelt post on BlueSky, the Skyblivion team shared their joy over Bethesda's outreach. "As massive fans, we're beyond grateful for the generous gift of Oblivion Remastered game keys for our entire modding team! This means so much to us. Thank you for everything, Bethesda!" they expressed.
Skyblivion, an ambitious fan remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, is being crafted by the dedicated TESRenewal volunteer modding group. Utilizing Bethesda's Creation Engine, the project aims to recreate the iconic game within the world of its sequel, Skyrim. What started over a decade ago as a simple port has evolved into a comprehensive remake, boasting improved features and fresh content. We had the chance to interview one of the developers back in 2021, and the team is gearing up for a much-anticipated release later this year.
The relationship between Bethesda and the Skyblivion team has always been characterized by mutual respect and support. However, with rumors swirling about an official Oblivion remaster, some fans speculated that Bethesda might be preempting Skyblivion's launch. Addressing these concerns, the Skyblivion team recently issued a statement, emphasizing that Bethesda has consistently supported community projects like theirs. They reassured fans that there's no need for competition between the two projects.
While Oblivion Remastered does not officially support mods, the fanbase has already begun creating an impressive array of unofficial mods shortly after its release. Both Skyblivion and Oblivion Remastered offer unique experiences: Skyblivion is exclusive to PC, while Oblivion Remastered includes the horse armor DLC for Deluxe Edition buyers but lacks the new and refurbished content promised by Skyblivion. Each version brings its own aesthetic and gameplay nuances, reflecting different visions of how much of Skyrim's essence should be woven into the fabric of Oblivion. Oblivion Remastered is available to play now, whereas fans eagerly await the release of Skyblivion.
As we anticipate Skyblivion's arrival, delve into why some players believe today's release leans more towards a remake than a remaster and explore Bethesda's reasoning behind labeling it as "Remastered."
