Bethesda, the beloved game publisher, has expressed support for a passionate fan project called Skyblivion. Fans are thrilled to revisit the sprawling world of Cyrodiil, especially with the recent launch of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered.

The Skyblivion team has spent years painstakingly porting and rebuilding Oblivion in the upgraded engine of Skyrim: Special Edition. Despite fears that official remasters might overshadow or shut down fan efforts, Bethesda clarified they won’t interfere with this ambitious mod.

The team took to social media to thank Bethesda for their ongoing support and the generous gift of game keys for the project. They emphasized that Bethesda’s stance remains welcoming towards community projects, assuring supporters that their work will continue unhindered.

While fans eagerly anticipate the official Oblivion remaster, some worry about competition from unofficial projects. Nonetheless, Bethesda’s open attitude stands in contrast to other publishers like Nintendo and Blizzard, who have historically shut down similar fan initiatives using legal measures.

Skyblivion’s creators remain optimistic about releasing a playable version later this year. They believe players will ultimately benefit from both the passionate community-driven reinterpretation and Bethesda’s polished remaster.
