Skyblivion, the ambitious fan-made remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion using the engine of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, is set to launch in 2025. This monumental project, crafted by a dedicated team of volunteer developers, represents a AAA-scale modding effort that has consumed years of their time and passion.
In a recent developer update stream, the Skyblivion team reaffirmed their commitment to a 2025 release, expressing optimism about meeting or even surpassing their target date. "We hope with your support to finish the final steps in completing our dream, maybe even beating our own estimation," they stated, highlighting the community's crucial role in the project's success.

Describing Skyblivion as merely a one-to-one remake would not do justice to the extensive work being done. The developers are not only recreating the game but also enhancing various aspects of the original Elder Scrolls title. Their efforts include ensuring that "unique items are actually unique" and improving the challenge posed by existing bosses, such as the notorious Mannimarco. The team showcased the revamped "A Brush with Death" quest during their livestream, revealing a beautifully reimagined painted world.
The project's significance is further heightened by rumors of an official Oblivion remake. Earlier this year, alleged details about an Oblivion remake emerged, suggesting potential updates to combat and other features. Microsoft, however, declined to comment on these rumors to IGN. Additionally, in 2023, documents from the Activision Blizzard/FTC trial inadvertently revealed mentions of an Oblivion remaster, alongside other projects like an Indiana Jones game, which has since been released, and a Fallout 3 remaster, which remains unconfirmed.
Should Microsoft and Bethesda decide to relaunch Oblivion officially, Skyblivion might face challenges. Bethesda's games have a rich history of modding support, from classic titles to the latest releases like Starfield. The hope is that Skyblivion will not encounter the same obstacles as the Fallout London mod did before its launch.
