We will play Oblivion on the Skyrim engine in 2025

A group of modders with the official name TES Renewal has been working on the Skyblivion project for almost 10 years.and now it seems to be slowly but surely coming to an end. We’ve got a new trailer, revealing not only a number of impressive scenes from the picturesque Cyrodiil, but also the release year. We should expect Skyblivion sometime in 2025., so it will certainly be interesting to see if the result of years of modding efforts or The Elder Scrolls VI comes out sooner. Bethesda Game Studios is going all out for the sixth full-length installment of The Elder Scrolls saga after the conclusion of the space RPG Starfield, which should happen sometime this year.

But since Bethesda Game Studios, which also signed on to most of the new Fallout games, has been working on each of its games for years, we’re kind of betting more on Skyblivion. Especially when the creators warn that if they manage to recruit enough reinforcements for the team in the foreseeable future, we will be able to visit Cyrodiil on the Skyrim engine a little earlier. However, the authors still have a lot of work to do.

It’s true that all the major games from Bethesda Game Studios, including Starfield, run on various versions of the engine that was used in Morrowind back in 2002. an attempt to remake the whole game, i.e. including quests, locations and characters, on a newer version of the engine requires a lot of time and a lot of effort. After all, the creators of Skyblivion are just volunteers who decided ten years ago to take on a project of a remake of the AAA game scale, on which even professional developers from Bethesda Game Studios have been working on for several years.

But now the TES Renewal team is in a position where they can promise to release Skyblivion in 2025. I hope this promise will not be broken. In any case, if you’re interested in playing Oblivion on the Skyrim engine, you’ll probably be interested to know what while the mod itself will be available for free on PC, you must have both the original The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim or The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition in order to successfully complete its installation.. Ownership of all expansions and DLCs is also a requirement.

In conclusion, it should be noted that you don’t have to worry that the owner of the rights to the original name will come and demand to stop development. Such fears often accompany projects conceived in this way, and, unfortunately, not without reason, but Bethesda Game Studios and publisher Bethesda Softworks have long supported the efforts of modders. Recently, both companies have even devoted more media space to Skyblivion’s total conversions than ever before., both in The Elder Scrolls and Fallout series. This is proved, for example, by the Bethesda.net website, where official interviews with the authors of Beyond Skyrim: Morrowind and Fallout: London mods appeared last year.
