The highly anticipated Skyblivion mod for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has delayed its release beyond the initial 2025 target, with developers confirming the launch is now expected next year. The project aims to recreate the classic RPG using Skyrim's engine, but the team faces certain challenges that require additional development time. Notable progress includes a completed world map and finished quest dungeons, while a few critical areas, such as the Imperial City, still need work. The interface is also transitioning to a more Skyrim-like design. Despite a setback regarding underwater combat, the team is optimistic about rolling out extensive post-launch content and improvements.

When will Skyblivion be released?

Skyblivion is now expected to launch sometime in 2026 after facing development delays, with a focus on completing remaining tasks before opening for play-testing.
