The Elder Scrolls Skyblivion is Oblivion remade in the Skyrim eng♊i🔥ne. The massive fan undertaking has been in the works for a while and will continue to be as a new trailer reveals the launch date for the project.
While Skyrim continues to enjoy a large player base, it was arguably the 2006 release of Oblivion thaℱt streamlined the Elder Scrolls series and helped pave the way for the series to snag a whole new audience, opening up the series to a greater range of gamers. But the game has aged and it's here where a band of fans have set themselves the ambitious task of recreating the entirety of Oblivion using the more modern Skyrim engine.
"Remaking Oblivion in the Skyrim en📖gine is what we set out to do when we started the Skyblivion project," writes the leaꦡd on the project, K Rebel, underneath the new YouTube trailer. "Making games takes time, this goes double for a volunteer project the size of a AAA game that took a team of fulltime devs years to make."
However, the Skyblivion team wanted to reassure that the project is in a state where they can "promise a 2025 release at the latest". So there y𒐪ou go. While it might be a while yet, as described, a project of this scope and size is going to take time especially when it's being worked on by a team that's not under payroll for making it. So fans should have patience although the trailer above will certainly whet the appetites.
Last year, 🌞Skyblivion lead K Rebel told TheGamer that original project lead Zilav started working on a port for Oblivion around ten years ago. "You could download it through the forums, but it was completely broken," K Rebel said. "That's how I first heard about the scope while I was working on Skywind, a similar remake of Morrowind."
Rebel has a YouTube channel called Rebelzize where he regularly updates on how the Skyblivion build is going, with dev diaries talking about world design and game design. But fans may have been a little concerned ꦛsince the last update was nine months ago, with a video dedicated to the project's 3D art. But today's trailer should allay fears.
While🍌 2025 seems a ways off, Rebel does say they hope to beat their own estmation, but it will require the help of volunteers. Those who are interested and hav🍬e the skills can apply via the Skyblivion .
