Feb 20, 2025 6:19 PM

The Skyblivion team has made significant progress on their ambitious project to remake The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion using Skyrim’s engine. Recently, they announced that all regions of Cyrodiil have undergone at least a first pass of landscaping, marking a major milestone. The next phase for the developers is to refine these areas and improve previously worked locations to enhance overall game quality. This announcement comes as part of their ongoing preparations for a planned release in 2025, despite needing to finalize additional mapping work, interiors, and a few quest locations. The community is encouraged to contribute their skills to help finalize this massive modding endeavor.

When will Skyblivion be released?

The Skyblivion mod team aims for a release in 2025, but there is still additional work to be completed, including enhancing the map and finalizing quests.

Skyblivion is a fan-driven project that seeks to revive Oblivion for a new generation of players by leveraging the graphical and gameplay improvements found in Skyrim. It stands as a testament to the dedication of the modding community to keep classic gaming experiences alive while simultaneously offering an updated platform that appeals to today’s audiences. The project builds on the nostalgic elements of the original game while promising modernized graphics and mechanics, which have become hallmarks of the Elder Scrolls franchise.

It’s wild to think that a fan project like Skyblivion could end up feeling more polished than some AAA remakes—2025 can’t come soon enough The fact that they’re already refining landscapes while juggling quests and interiors shows just how much love this team has for the Elder Scrolls universe.
