It was two years after Skyrim first released and seven years after Oblivion, when no new Elder Scrolls games were on the horizon, and all signs pointed to Bethesda working on Fallout 4. Skyblivion began life as a small passion project back in 2013. The fact that another Elder Scrolls game isn't even in pre-development yet is also pretty motivating!” A timeless adventure, restored

I’m hoping that, this way, new fans of the series will be able to see why we love Oblivion so much, and at the same time give old fans of the series a chance to re-experience Oblivion in a new and exciting way. “Oblivion is such a great game but, due to outdated graphics and clunky mechanics, newer fans don't give it a shot. Kyle Rebel is the PR and Development Lead on Skyblivion, and recently talked to me about how work is coming along, and why Cyrodiil was their choice of Elder Scrolls locations to bring back to life.

In short, Skyblivion is Oblivion remastered with the upgraded visual might of Skyrim, complete with all the quests, characters, and locations you remember from the original game, and is scheduled to release sometime later this year.

So long as you own both Skyrim (or Skyrim Special Edition), Oblivion, and all their respective DLCs on PC, Skyblivion will be completely free to any interested parties, despite the breathtaking amount of time and effort its taken for the development team to bring Cyrodiil back to life. It’s called Skyblivion (Oblivyrim just isn’t quite as catchy, and sounds like something a doctor might prescribe you for the sniffles), and it’s currently under construction by a large network of modders led by the TESRenewal group, a community also responsible for the Morroblivion and Skywind remaster projects. Not a crossover per say (though the idea of dragons soaring across Imperial City does sound appealing), but something potentially even better a fully remastered Cyrodiil made in Skyrim’s own game engine.
