While it’s clear that the remaster of the former Game of the Year may affect the upcoming mod, there’s still plenty of space for both to thrive. After all, knowing how popular The Elder Scrolls is and knowing its dedicated community, both projects are poised for success. Skyblivion developers recently released a statement supporting the Oblivion Remaster and even emphasizing its advantages over their own mod. Oblivion Remaster will give gamers something that Skyblivion never could The Horse Armor DLC aside, we can all agree that The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion was a masterpiece. Released in 2006, the open-world game became an instant success, selling more than 9.5 million copies. It wasn’t until five years later that it was dethroned by Skyrim, another fantastic game in the series. Now, the remaster of Oblivion will bring the classic gameplay with the improved graphics and engine. While this sounds amazing for gamers, the remaster clashes with Skyblivion, an Oblivion mod that uses Skyrim’s engine. The mod is supposed to come out in 2025 and will remain unaffected by the remaster. Its developers released a statement supporting Bethesda’s upcoming release and believe that it’s a victory for gamers. Oblivion remaster will be available on consoles.

In addition, the development team highlighted a key distinction between the two projects. While the Oblivion Remaster will be available for both PCs and current-gen consoles, Skyblivion will remain exclusive to PC as a mod. “As a PC mod, a console release is impossible for us, so the remaster offers a great opportunity for console players to revisit Oblivion, something our project simply can’t provide.” In the end, this year promises two incredible projects for Oblivion fans. While it’s clear that the remastered game may have some impact on Skyblivion, the real winners will undoubtedly be the gamers.
