Overview

• The new Eurogamer film shows Skyblivion developers shifting from worry to relief once Bethesda’s release proved to be a faithful remaster rather than a ground-up remake.
• Skyblivion positions itself as a broader overhaul, with redesigned cities and lore-friendly fixes such as making boat travel from the Imperial City to the sea possible.
• Former world designer Dee Keyes publicly left the project alleging mismanagement and misplaced priorities, which the team’s implementation lead, Heavy Burns, disputes.
• Skyblivion’s leadership reiterates the mod is volunteer-led and will not release until the team is confident it is finished.
• Wccftech reports Bethesda gave the modders copies of Oblivion Remastered and invited them to its headquarters, and the team recently described development as in the “final stretch” while sharing the first 15 minutes of gameplay.
