What is Skyblivion and when can players expect its release?

Skyblivion is a fan-made mod of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, rebuilt within the Skyrim engine, and it's expected to release in 2025. The mod will feature Oblivion's entire world with improved graphics and gameplay mechanics along with original voice acting for new quests.

The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, first released in 2006, is a critically acclaimed open-world RPG set in the fantasy world of Tamriel. It's the fourth installment in the Elder Scrolls series and introduced several new features to the franchise, such as a radiant AI system and a greatly expanded world. Oblivion was followed by The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim in 2011, which expanded on its predecessor's success and became one of the most iconic and enduring RPGs of the decade. The fans' efforts to bring these older titles like Oblivion and Morrowind into Skyrim's more advanced engine speak to the enduring passion for the Elder Scrolls series and highlight the community's creativity and dedication to keeping the games alive for new and old players alike.
