If there is one company that should be grateful to the modding community, it is Bethesda. And the company seems to understand that. Bethesda just gave the Skyblivion team a big reason to smile — everyone working on the fan project got a free key to the new remaster of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. But more than that, the studio also made it clear: they're fully supporting the mod and have no plans to shut it down.

The Skyblivion project is a fan-made remake of Oblivion using the engine from Skyrim. It's been in the works since 2012, with a full release expected by the end of 2025. The mod will be totally free for anyone who owns the original games.

The Skyblivion developers thanked Bethesda not just for this gift, but also for years of support. Despite the release of an official remaster, they believe their version — with its own unique touch — will still attract players. For fans of the Elder Scrolls series, it's a great sign that passion projects like this can still thrive, even with official updates on the market.
