Skyblivion Mod for Skyrim Nears Completion with 2025 Release Target
The ambitious fan project recreates Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion in Skyrim's engine, with most of the game world and quests completed but DLCs planned for post-launch.
- Skyblivion, a fan-developed mod recreating Oblivion in Skyrim's engine, is targeting a 2025 release, with 93% of its world map completed but final work still needed on navmeshing and interiors.
- The mod will include the base game of Oblivion at launch, with plans to develop its DLCs, such as Shivering Isles, after the main release is finalized.
- Nearly all of Oblivion's 200 quests have been implemented, with only six remaining to begin development, marking significant progress compared to the start of 2024.
- The project requires players to own both Skyrim Special Edition and Oblivion Game of the Year Deluxe editions for legal reasons, as all assets are being recreated from scratch by volunteers.
- Rumors of an official Oblivion remaster by Bethesda remain unconfirmed, potentially setting up an interesting comparison with the fan-made Skyblivion project.
