enderal is the top-rated Skyrim mod of all time at moddb. It has nearly 500,000 downloads at nexusmods and its own steam page filled with glowing reviews.

The team at sureai released its final patch for enderal on Sunday. They no longer had as much free time to keep up development – because they’re working on a new, commercial project which will hopefully be announced this year.

We checked the team’s social media accounts, discord, and more. But it’d be surprising if it were n’t based in swords and sorcery.

Some of the world’s most popular games started as mods. Counter-Strike, Dota and pubg began as overhauls for Half-Life, Warcraft III and ArmA 2 respectively. Developers of popular mods like the darthmod for total war have also made it into the industry.
