“Even though I worked on Oblivion Remastered, I’m still excited for Skyblivion”: Bethesda shows more love to the modders who’ve been remaking Elder Scrolls 4 for 12 years

Oblivion Remastered is all the rage right now, and for good reason. It brings one of the most beloved open-world RPGs to a new audience with a beautiful visual upgrade, meaningful quality-of-life improvements, and all of the loveable jank from the original game – all at a very agreeable $50. What’s not to like?

Well, from the perspective of the Skyblivion team, who’ve been remaking Oblivion in Skyrim since 2012, you’d think there’d be a lot of things to not like. But from the outset, the Skyblivion devs haven’t only remained steadfast in their commitment to their own project, but also vocally and enthusiastically supportive of the official remaster, and likewise, Bethesda has shown no shortage of love to the modders, giving the whole team Oblivion Remastered keys and making clear they have no intention of shutting down the project.
