Fans of The Elder Scrolls series are celebrating today as Bethesda has shown immense appreciation for the community by gifting free game keys for *The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered* to the entire team behind the popular mod, Skyblivion. This heartwarming gesture was shared with the community through a post on BlueSky, where the Skyblivion team expressed their gratitude: "As massive fans, we're beyond grateful for the generous gift of Oblivion Remastered game keys for our entire modding team! This means so much to us. Thank you for everything, Bethesda!"
Skyblivion, an ambitious fan-made remake of *The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion*, is being developed by the dedicated volunteers at the TESRenewal modding group. Utilizing Bethesda's Creation Engine, they are reimagining Oblivion within the world of its sequel, Skyrim. What began as a simple port has evolved into a comprehensive remake, promising enhanced features and new content. Skyblivion has been in development for over a decade and is eagerly anticipated to launch later this year.
The relationship between Bethesda and the Skyblivion team has always been amicable. However, rumors of an official Oblivion remaster led some to speculate if Bethesda was trying to overshadow Skyblivion. Addressing these concerns, the Skyblivion team released a statement just days before today's showcase, emphasizing Bethesda's support for community projects and denying any competitive intent between the two projects.
It's worth noting that *Oblivion Remastered* does not officially support mods, yet the fan community has wasted no time in creating a plethora of unofficial mods since its release. Both versions of Oblivion offer unique experiences: Skyblivion, for example, will not be available on consoles, while *Oblivion Remastered* launches without the new and refreshed content promised by Skyblivion, but includes the much-discussed horse armor DLC in its Deluxe Edition. Each version brings its own visual and gameplay interpretations, reflecting different levels of Skyrim's influence on Oblivion's world. *Oblivion Remastered* is available to play now, whereas fans of Skyblivion will need to wait a bit longer for its release.
While anticipation builds for Skyblivion, you can delve into why some players view today's release as more of a remake than a remaster and explore the reasoning behind Bethesda's choice to label it as "Remastered".
