The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion free remake landing before The Elder Scrolls 6

The Elder Scrolls: Skyblivion is set to land in 2025, and is the perfect remedy for those waiting for The Elder Scrolls 6.

If you’ve never heard of The Elder Scrolls: Skyblivion, allow me to enlighten you. A group of fan developers have spent several years recreating Oblivion in Skyrim’s Creation Engine - and an end point for the project is now finally in sight.

We all know that Bethesda is a studio that doesn’t like to rush projects, which is quite right. With that in mind, Skyblivion is very much staying true to Bethesda’s ethos. The remake has actually been in the works since 2012, although it was only back in 2020 that we got our first glimpse at it in action. When the conversion mod does finally land, it’ll be supported in both the Skyrim Legacy Edition and Skyrim Special Edition, as well as in Oblivion itself. As for when it releases? Well, it’ll drop before The Elder Scrolls VI as Skyblivion is set to land in 2025.

It feels like an age since Bethesda first dropped The Elder Scrolls VI’s announcement trailer.

Skyblivion is completely modular, offers 4K resolution, and will remake Oblivion’s DLC in addition to its base game content. “Remaking Oblivion in the Skyrim engine is what we set out to do when we started the Skyblivion project. Making games takes time, this goes double for a volunteer project the size of a AAA game that took a team of full time devs years to make,” the TESRenewal team said. “Regardless, we would like to share today that Skyblivion is in a state where we can promise a 2025 release at the latest.”

The remake will be totally free to download. While it aims to be a faithful remake, Skyblivion should also contain a few surprises as devs have previously teased “custom content” such as the addition of underwater combat.

Given that we have no idea when The Elder Scrolls VI is set to release, this should pacify franchise fans for a while - namely those with a PC.
