• Skyblivion "will not be shadow dropping after over a decade of hard work", say modders still planning a regular release date reveal despite delays - 1 September 2026

  Skyblivion won't be following the lead of Bethesda's Oblivion Remastered with a sudden shadow drop of its own, the folks behind the massive Oblivion remake mod have confirmed. Instead, they've plans to reveal a new release date for the mod, which was previously being aimed to arrive late last year , when they're ready. Read more

• Fallout: New Vegas gets a Mojave interpretation of Oblivion's Dark Brotherhood, thanks to this assassin-focused faction quest mod - 14 July 2026

  While there's never been any shortage of characters who'll pay you to splatter some brains across the desert with your trusty anti-mat rifle in Fallout: New Vegas , a new mod adds a whole extra faction based around being a post-apocalyptic assassin. They're dubbed the Dark Family, and you get no prizes for guessing which robed gang of Elder Scrolls dagger-enthusiasts they're based on. Read more

• "The world is built": Skyblivion devs call for extra quest-making hands to help overcome the massive mod's "final roadblocks" to release - 17 June 2026

  A couple of months on from pushing to make some vital veteran additions to their team in order to get their massive Oblivion remake mod over the line, Skyblivion 's developers are once again appealing for volunteers to aid in overcoming some "final roadblocks" standing the way of its release. Meanwhile, it sounds like the chances of another statistical breakdown from the modders running down exactly what's left to be done are low, with Skyblivion's implementation lead asserting that the mod's so close to the finish line such data's no longer "a super relevant way of displaying our remaining work".

The modders have announced that they've finished making and QA testing their revamped versions of The Elder Scrolls 4's Ayleid ruins, marking another key step forward in their journey , even if the mod's still without a final release date following its delay last year .

• Skyblivion isn't "dead in the water", the Oblivion remake mod's lead says, a recent call for extra hands is about maintaining "good momentum" - 2 April 2026

  Earlier this week the team behind Oblivion remake mod Skyblivion put out a call for some "final" and "vital" veteran help to get their work over the line in 2026. Given the mod's delay late last year and the fairly lengthy list of roles the post on Nexus Mods cited the Skyblivion crew as looking to fill, you'd be forgiven for wondering what this recruiting push might mean in terms of how work on the mod's going. However, Skyblivion's project lead Kyle 'Rebelzize' Rebel says it's not a sign that the project's "dead in the water", but instead a team who have been "stretched thin" for a long time trying to take advantage of "good momentum" they currently have as they work to tie up remaining loose ends.

• Skyblivion devs are "on the hunt" for some "final, vital" veteran hands to get the Oblivion remake mod over the line this year - 31 March 2026

  With the first few months of its latest target release year drawing to a close, the modders behind Skyblivion are looking to make some "final" and "vital" veteran additions to their team in order to get the ambitious remake of Oblivion in Skyrim 's engine over the line. This comes after a delay late last year , which saw Skyblivion's arrival pushed to 2026, following some accusations from a former dev that it was being rushed out of the door. Read more

• Oblivion turns 20 today, and I need Bethesda to return to its roots for Elder Scrolls 6 - 20 March 2026

  I remember buying The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion like it was yesterday. The day after it hit store shelves, I handed over my entire pocket money savings at a dearly departed Gamestation. The plastic film on the case was slightly warped from the weeks spent sitting in a warehouse somewhere. Nestled inside, an actual disc, and a glossy map of Cyrodiil folded into twelfths. Riding the high of a new game purchase, my childhood gang of misfit gamers eagerly followed me home to watch me install it. It wasn't until that iconic swirling shot of the Imperial City, accompanied by the quasi-piratical main theme courtesy of acclaimed composer Jeremy Soule, that I cast about for any excuse to get them to leave. This was an experience I wanted to keep all to myself. Read the rest of the story... RELATED LINKS: Months after a last-minute delay, long-awaited conversion mod 'Skyblivion' is back with a ne…

• Skyblivion project lead says the massive Oblivion remake mod is "in a great place" during its first proper showcase of 2026 - 15 March 2026

  The team behind Skyblivion , the massive mod remake of Oblivion in Skyrim 's engine, have shown off a few late-stage Mages Guild quests in the project's first proper showcase livestream since its release was delayed to 2026 late last year. According to project lead Kyle 'Rebelzize' Rebel, Skyblivion's currently "in a great place" and its team are still aiming to release it "as soon as possible". If you missed it, last year's Skyblivion delay followed an ex- level and world designer on the project alleging that the mod's previous 2025 release goal was "unachievable" , in a post which also accused Rebel and Skyblivion implementation lead Heavy Burns of mismanaging communication within the mod's team. In response, Heavy Burns asserted that "many" of the claims in the ex-dev's post were "either misrepresented or just untrue". Read more

• Don't assume Skyblivion is getting spellcrafting, as its team say UI lead was consulted on delay video despite post suggesting otherwise - 5 December 2025

  "As far as concerns that our UI Lead, Fallen, wasn't included in contributing to the delay announcement, that would be inaccurate," Flatt continued. "He did not have a direct role in the video production, including filming and editing, but he did help review the script for accuracy (as did all department leads). After chatting with him, the confusion on his end was due to the time interval between us finishing the script and the video being finished, in which he forgot he had worked on the script." Original story follows: Skyblivion , the massive modding project reinterpreting The Elder Scrolls 4 via Skyrim 's engine, had its release officially delayed to 2026 earlier this week. The delay followed an ex-Skyblivion level and world designer Dee Keyes alleging that the mod's previous 2025 release goal was "unachievable" earlier this year, in a post which also accused Skyblivion project lea…

• Skyblivion's release has been delayed to 2026, but you can check out an interactive version of its map - 3 December 2025

  Skyblivion , the massive mod remake of Oblivion in Skyrim 's engine, won't be making its previously announced 2025 release goal, the team behind it have confirmed. Instead, the mod'll be coming out at some point in 2026, giving the team behind it extra time to overcome the final few hurdles and get it polished up. This news comes a few months after ex-Skyblivion level and world designer Dee Keyes called the 2025 release goal the mod's team set in 2023 "pointless and unachievable" . Keyes also accused Skyblivion project lead Kyle 'Rebelzize' Rebel and implementation lead Heavy Burns of rushing the project out the door and mismanaging communication within the team, subsequently sharing more of his perspective on the project in a video interview with RPS sister site Eurogamer . In a response to Keyes' original claims, Heavy Burns asserted that "many of the statements in his post are either…

• March 2026 would be a "fitting" Skyblivion release window, says former dev who called making 2025 "unachievable" - 25 September 2025

  A former developer on massive Elder Scrolls mod project Skyblivion who called its current 2025 release goal "unachievable" has suggested March 2026 as a "fitting" release window for the task of remaking Oblivion in Skyrim 's engine. Around the time of the mod's most recent showcase , ex-Skyblivion level and world designer Dee Keyes put out a tweet accusing its project lead and implementation lead of rushing the mod out the door to meet a 2025 release goal that Keyes dubbed "pointless and unachievable". The modder also accused the pair of mismanaging the project by not keeping up communication between leads and other developers in terms of key decisions. Keyes' claims and very public split from the Skyblivion team naturally led to questions being asked of the remaining Skyblivion devs, with the mod's comms lead telling fans: "Our aim is that it will be by the end of the year, if we as a…

• Another Skyblivion dev diary shows off the new dungeons and expanded cities Oblivion Remastered never bothered with - 4 August 2025

  August 2025 now has as many Skyblivion developer diaries as there are modern The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion reimaginings: two, which in both cases remains a weirdly high number. But while last week’s Finishing Skyblivion focused on one volunteer’s attempts at getting the ambitious Cyrodiil-in- Skyrim mod over the line, this other vid makes a very specific pitch to those whose interest may have been diverted by Bethesda’s official Oblivion Remastered , showcasing how Skyblivion looks to more aggressively expand and rework the original RPG.

• Skyblivion devs used their Bethesda visit to fight the good fight, asking Todd and co to bring back Skyrim-style official modding tutorials - 20 June 2025

  While the prospect The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered turning out to be a real thing had folks wondering what that might mean for Oblivion remake mod Skyblivion 's release , Bethesda were quick quell fears of a shutdown. Both sides have been openly chummy since that point, with the studio behind The Elder Scrolls even having the team of modders pop by for a visit around the time their project was being shouted out on the official channels . We've now learned a bit more about how that social call went and what the two sides chatted about. Read more
