Modders Aim to Rebuild Oblivion in Space with Starfield

Oct 22, 2024 9:54 AM

Starfield modders are ambitiously working on a project called "Starblivion," aimed at recreating the iconic realm of Cyrodiil in space. Initially, they launched an alternate start mod that allows players to begin their adventure in Starfield through the familiar dungeon intro from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The lead modder, Ronaldmcdonld, shared their vision of incorporating elements from Oblivion into Starfield while eventually creating an expansive Elder star system.

Currently, the team is focusing on completing the alternate start mod, which will lead players from the prison cell into the deeper sewer areas. Following this, they plan to initiate the Cyrodiil recreation process using Starfield's advanced engine. Ronaldmcdonld emphasizes their deep affection for Oblivion and aims to revive its magic for a new audience in Starfield.

How will "Starblivion" enhance the Starfield experience?

"Starblivion" aims to bridge the nostalgia of Oblivion with the vastness of Starfield, offering fans a unique opportunity to experience beloved locations and narratives within a sci-fi setting, thereby expanding the game's original universe.

Starfield, developed by Bethesda Game Studios, is a space-based RPG that has garnered significant attention since its release. As the latest title in Bethesda's lineup, it builds upon their legacy of open-world games, allowing players to explore a vast galaxy filled with different planets and factions. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is a classic fantasy RPG known for its rich lore and engaging gameplay, revered among fans for its immersive world.
