The Skyblivion team has made significant progress on their ambitious project to remake The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion using Skyrim’s engine. Recently, they announced that all regions of Cyrodiil have undergone at least a first pass of landscaping, marking a major milestone. The next phase for the developers is to refine these areas and improve previously worked locations to enhance overall game quality. This announcement comes as part of their ongoing preparations for a planned release in 2025, despite needing to finalize additional mapping work, interiors, and a few quest locations. The community is encouraged to contribute their skills to help finalize this massive modding endeavor.

When will Skyblivion be released?

The Skyblivion mod team aims for a release in 2025, but there is still additional work to be completed, including enhancing the map and finalizing quests.
