Skyblivion quietly continues development despite the release of Oblivion Remastered

Recent release The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered put the team of fans working on it in a difficult position Skyblivion — a global modification for Skyrim Special Edition, turning it into a full-fledged remake of Oblivion. However, Bethesda has officially stated that it is not going to ban this project.

Skyblivion differs from the remaster in that it is created from scratch as a full-fledged remake. The authors will improve the entire map, add a huge number of new details: bookstores will be full of books, and forts, which looked simple in the original, will become large-scale mansions. Cities will be reworked based on early concepts: Leyawiin will acquire trade waterways, and imperial city will become significantly larger and richer in research.

The modification will restore many cut elements of the original, increase the diversity of biomes, rework ruins and interiors, add blacksmithing, new enemies and improved boss fights. Every item in Skyblivion will have unique model, and the soundtrack will be replenished with 22 new tracks. The mod is expected to be released this year, but given its scale, there may be a slight delay.
