The passionate developers behind Skyblivion have delivered an exciting February 2025 progress report, showcasing their monumental achievements in bringing this Oblivion-in-Skyrim remake closer to reality. The update highlights three critical development fronts: environmental completion, audio enhancements, and future content planning.

Skyblivion Nears Completion With Finished Cities Original Music and DLC RoadmapImage: skyblivion.comUrban development has reached its zenith with the recent completion of Bravil, Cyrodiil's notorious poverty-stricken city. Only the Imperial City now remains unfinished among the game's major settlements. The audio team has simultaneously expanded the game's musical repertoire, crafting original compositions that blend seamlessly with both classic Oblivion melodies and new Skyblivion themes. These advancements will be explored in-depth in an upcoming developer diary.

Perhaps most intriguingly, the team has begun planning post-release content, with a remake of Oblivion's surreal Shivering Isles expansion leading their DLC roadmap. The dedication to authenticity shines through in their painstaking recreation of the Gatekeeper - the expansion's iconic flesh golem sentinel that took 34 hours to model. This attention to detail exemplifies the seven-year commitment since the project's 2018 unveiling.

With all signs pointing toward an imminent 2025 release, Skyblivion continues to demonstrate how fan passion can breathe new life into beloved gaming classics through meticulous recreation and thoughtful expansion.
