Bethesda isn’t shutting down ambitious fan-made “Skyblivion” remaster project
Bethesda fans are understandably excited about the opportunity to revisit the world of Cyrodiil with yesterday’s heavily telegraphed release of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. But that excitement may have been tinged with at least a little bit of trepidation for the team behind Skyblivion, a volunteer-run project that has spent years trying to “port and rebuild” 2007’s Oblivion into the updated engine from 2016’s remastered Skyrim: Special Edition.
Fortunately for the Skyblivion team, Bethesda has apparently decided there’s room enough in this world for both official and unofficial remakes of Oblivion. The team took to social media Tuesday to thank Bethesda for “their continued support” and for “the generous gift of Oblivion Remastered game keys for our entire modding team.”
“To clear up any confusion Bethesda made it clear that they have no intention of shutting down our project,” the team added in a social media reply.
